Unravelling the origins of volcanism along Eastern Australia and the Tasman Sea featured image

Unravelling the origins of volcanism along Eastern Australia and the Tasman Sea

Mantle plumes are buoyant upwellings rising from the Earth’s core-mantle boundary to its surface, generating hotspot chains that track the direction of plate motion. Eastern …
