Fig. 10

The vertical column of panels on the left side are DETOX-P2 vertical sections (AG) down to the LLSVP (2800 km) (ref. 6). See Figure S2 for a large-scale view encompassing the Galapagos Islands. The topographic map shows the ___location of profiles (AG) relative to the Easter Microplate, the EPR and the SYGR. Panels below are map views at different depths with corner coordinates -40°S; −125°W and −12°S, −95°W. Light blue dots indicate a reference ___location at 27°S: 108°W. Yellow dots mark the ___location of Easter Island at −26.92°S: 109.35°. Red dots at −27S 105.75 W is the eastern edge of the present plume ___location defined by SYGR age progression. Figures were generated using ‘SubMachine’ software109.
