volcanism and plate tectonicsStratovolcanoes tend to form at subduction zones, or convergent plate margins, where an oceanic plate slides beneath a continental plate and contributes to the rise of magma to the surface. At rift zones, or divergent margins, shield volcanoes tend to form as two oce...
[1] Magma mixing plays a prominent role in the origins of intermediate magmas in subduction zones. However, the conditions and time scales of magma mixing and how these are linked to subsequent eruption are unclear. Mount Tauhara is the largest dacitic volcanic complex in the Taupo Volcanic ...
How does magma composition affect a volcanic eruption? How are volcanoes and magma related? How are volcanoes distributed? What is a subduction boundary eruption? How are volcanoes created at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge? How does plate tectonics affect the rock cycle?
In this lesson, learn the magma definition, where magma comes from, how magma is formed, the mineral composition of magma, and whether magma is a...
Magmas with higher silica contents (Andesite, Dacite, and Rhyolite) are common along subduction zones and intraplate tectonic settings. The composition, along with crystal and gas content, controls the viscosity, temperature, and explosivity of the magma. Composition combined with pressure dictates the...
Structure and Thermodynamics of Subduction Zone Fluids from Spectroscopic Studies Fluids1 in subduction zones have been a subject of growing interest for at least the last 20 years. Subduction zones are the major places on Earth for mass transfer, element recycling and chemical differentiation through...

in a lower crustal magma reservoir, periodically refluxed by mantle melts. Thus, slab melting is not necessarily required to produce an adakitic geochemical fingerprint in hot subduction zones. The hot downgoing plate may cross the ‘adakitic window’ and melt in specific geodynamic settings such ...
Broadly speaking, the theory of plate tectonics says that earthquakes and volcanoes will occur in similar regions —in rifts, especially oceanic rifts; in earth’s crust, where magma rises from the mantle through fissures; and at subduction zones, where one plate plunges under another. 简单来...
Lavas of andesitic or intermediate composition commonly form a somewhat different type of flow, known as a block lava flow. These resemble aa in having tops consisting largely of loose rubble, but the fragments are more regular in shape, most of them polygons with fairly smooth sides.… ...
