Reply to comment by msew in ‘Mind-blowing’ network of magma chambers found under Hawaii’s volcanoes - The discovery offers a possible solution to a long-standing mystery — how magma from the deep mantle travels to the Hawaiian surface by GeoGeoGeoGeo

Saying it gets to the surface doesn't explain how it gets to the surface, and if I asked you to draw the plumbing system for its pathway to the surface I'd be willing to bet that you'd be pretty far from the truth. This study helps resolve that plumbing system which was pretty uncertain previously.

The title of post is pandering and misleading. It implies that for years that there was a giant mystery of how the magma appeared or got to the volcanoes/surface.

Not that they discovered the details and the layout of how they knew the magma got to the volcanoes (aka the only way it could have gotten to the surface).

It's not. Not even a little bit.

Everybody with more than 2 brain cells already understood it came from underground. If you did not, you are the exception.
