Abstract.The results of experimental and theoretical modeling of freeconvection flows in the melt of the plume conduit and in the mushroomshaped head are presented. It was shown that the plumes with the mushroom-shaped heads can be responsible for the batholith formation. The main parameters of such plumes are estimated.
