A Mysterious Blob of Hot Rock Is Building Up Under America's Northeast

From the blog site Science Alert by Mr Peter Dockrill, 18 December 2017.

Here is the lede plus one:

A vast mass of hot rock is welling up underneath Vermont and extending into other subterranean regions below New England, new research shows.

Scientists used a network of thousands of seismic measurement devices in the largest geological study of its kind, detecting the enormous blob upwelling under Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts – and possibly elsewhere.
