"A region of heavier material trapped in the lithosphere gets warmed up and begins to sink into the lighter, less dense mantle beneath, pulling a long tail of material after it."

"The team thinks this drip started some 15 million to 20 million years ago and probably detached from the overlying plate only recently."
recently? as in last week or a few thousand years ago?
