“Deep‑Earth ‘Blobs’: The Hidden Triggers for Giant Volcanic Eruptions!”

New research reveals that massive “blobs” deep in Earth’s lower mantle act as the source of rising magma plumes that cause giant volcanic eruptions — including supervolcano events that shaped Earth’s history millions of years ago.

🧠 Key Insights:
• These continent-sized blobs sit ~2,500 km beneath Africa & the Pacific and drive mantle plumes up to the crust — fueling eruptions like Hawaii and Iceland.
• Simulations show 80–90% of large eruptions in the past 250–300 million years align with blob boundaries.
• Blobs may also carry ancient material from Earth’s formation or even remnants of Theia, the planet that collided with early Earth.

🔍 In this video we’ll explore:

1. What these deep‑Earth blobs are (and where they came from)

2. How they generate volcanic plumes and eruptions

3. What this means for predicting future volcanic hazards — and mineral resources
