There are enormous blobs deep inside the Earth. We can just barely detect them (using seismic imaging), and we really don't know what they are. https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/gd/2020/03/04/should-we-still-study-llsvps/ … pic.twitter.com/kmLIAbqBY3

  I don't think the world has enough fire extinguishers to handle them.

  As far as I know (superficially) about that, these blobs are the terminal portion of ascendent convective plumes on the mantel. They'd been behind some vulcanic activities as Siberian Traps and Hawaii, and probably are slowly splitting Africa in two.
