In a new video by Atlas Pro on Hawaii linked below, he indicates a curious observation: Most hotspots antipode’s have sign’s of heavy impacts from asteroids.
He postulated that the force of these impacts could force magma in the earth towards the opposite side of the globe, like a magma plume but in reverse.
Fundamentally, this is just a casual relationship for now, but Wegener’s ideas on plate tectonics were linked to the “jigsaw” of S.America and Africa, so this is not totally unseen in Geophysics.
Hence, this leads me to ask: Has there been any serious research or papers in this idea?
