...The source of the Azores volcanism has been attributed to the presence of a mantle plume (e.g., Schilling, 1975; Cannat et al., 1999; Gente et al., 2003; Madureira et al., 2005, 2014; Yang et al., 2006), although this remains under intense debate (Schilling et al., 1980; Bonatti, 1990; Métrich et…...
