Fig. 4: Summary of distances between plume conduits and BLOBS edges for all mantle flow model cases.
From: Large volcanic eruptions are mostly sourced above mobile basal mantle structures
a Average minimum angular distance of plume conduit locations to BLOBS edges. b, Grand mean of angular distances obtained from 1,000 samples of uniform random plume conduit locations to BLOBS edges. c P-values for the Monte Carlo significance tests, with grey shading indicating a departure from the null hypothesis (symmetrical logarithmic scale). In a and b, distances are shown separately for plumes above BLOBS interiors (orange) and exteriors (blue), respectively.
