Large low shear velocity province wander. a Voting map cluster analysis of large low shear velocity province (LLSVP) morphology79 with Hawaiian-Emperor chain highlighted, sampled at 3 degree intervals. Map shows cluster analysis of five shear velocity (Vs) tomographic models evaluated at 2700 km depth. b SEISGLOB2 Vs tomographic model of Durand et al.65 resolved at 2700 km depth, with hotspots (purple circles). Yellow stars show those hotspots used for the Indo-Atlantic reference frame of Müller et al.80. Red circles are hotspots used in Indo-Atlantic reference frame of Steinberger81
