That 3D model is fabulous - but... at that depth, the rock is all plastic... and probably fairly homogenous except for the heat plume itself... presumably... so how do faults persist Pure shear zones filled with magma? does that mean the earthquakes outline the shape of the shear zones around a molten core?
