Fig. 5: Distances between volcanic eruptions and plume conduits for preferred mantle flow model C4.
From: Large volcanic eruptions are mostly sourced above mobile basal mantle structures
a Angular distance from C4 plume conduits centroids (white discs), and J18 volcanic eruptions (black discs) at 60 Ma. Robinson projection at Earth’s surface. b Cumulative distribution of distances to C4 plumes from 300 Ma for J18 volcanic eruptions (ns = 167, black line) and for 1000 tests based on the generation of 167 uniform random locations of volcanic eruptions (grey lines). In b, P is the probability value (or P-value) for the Monte Carlo significance test, ns is the number of plume conduits in the sample.
