aRifts contain fractures that serve as passageways for magma originating in the mantle. Rift zones account for most of the places where lava flows onto Earth’s surface. Fissure eruptions often occur along rift zones. These eruptions form lava that cools and solidifies into basalt, the most ...
(c) the magma filling the dike cools down and crystallizes because of the heat loss to the country rock; (d) the crystal-rich magma is treated as a yield-stress (Bingham) material, such that it behaves as a stiff plug unless the pressure difference between the deep and shallow reservoirs...
If this system formed, it could have been potentially similar to the Robbers Roost Dike field site, with the caveat that the Robbers Roost dike is a vertical dike system vs. a potentially thin horizontal volcanic floor unit (Goudge et al., 2015). Such magma driven hydrothermal systems are ...
The Rustenburg Layered Suite of the Bushveld Complex of South Africa is a vast layered accumulation of mafic and ultramafic rocks. It has long been regarded as a textbook result of fractional crystallization from a melt-dominated magma chamber. Here, we
It sometimes happens that a crystal is indeed a crystal, but not a mineral. Some healing crystals that fit this description includeObsidianandAmber. Obsidian occurs from rapidly cooling lava, forming into glass as it cools without forming a crystalline structure. The absence of an atomic lattice ...
As for there being no “vent, magma chamber, or any volcanic system whatsoever”… The region is riddled with vents and magma chambers. The outcrops of intrusive igneous rocks (granite, syenite, porphoritic andesite, etc.) are the surface expression of eroded batholith-type and other intrus...
The Joule-Thompson effect cools the gas to about 80 K. However, the dilution prevents the UF6 from condensing in the gas phase. Instead, clusters of fluoride and carrier gas particles form. After selective laser excitation of the 235UF6 species, these no longer form clusters and move through...
Here, the large amounts of infiltrating waters that circulate in the permeable carbonate formations possibly cools the crust and causes the low conductive heat flux measured in the area [17,44]. Figure 6. (a) CO2 flux map of central Italy (modified from [17]); (b) Conductive heat flux ...
