Phanerozoic primary tin and tungsten deposits and lithium–cesium–tantalum (LCT) type
pegmatites define discontinuous belts that reach several thousand kilometers length …

Significant volume of wet melting requires an influx of H2O-rich volatile phase. In hydrate-
breakdown melting, initial melt accumulation is diffusion-controlled and melt accumulates …

At low temperatures (< 750 C at moderate to high crustal pressures), the production of
sufficient melt to reach the melt connectivity transition (∼ 7 vol%), enabling melt drainage …

IGNEOUS ROCKS AND PROCESSES A practical introduction to igneous petrology for
students and practitioners The newly revised Second Edition of Igneous Rocks and …

Evolved magmas, including highly explosive rhyolites, are mainly generated by extraction of
viscous melts from solid residues either in (1) partial melting zones within the crust …

In order to provide new insights into the relationship between plutonism and volcanism,
numerical simulations involving heat transfer computation were used to estimate the …

The Earth's magmatism produces both volcanic and plutonic rocks. These two rock types
share many similarities, but also display significant differences that have led to a tendency to …

The close relationship between crustal magmatism, an expression of heat dissipation, and
tectonics, an expression of stress dissipation, leads to the question of their mutual …

Many rift zones contain composite volcanoes (central volcanoes), most of which are
supplied with magma from shallow crustal magma chambers. Volcanotectonic studies of …

Incrementally constructed magma systems have been recognized from studies of the
resulting plutons for more than three decades. However, magma addition rates, fluxes …
