Instead, it promotes quasi-equilibrium crystallization in small domains within a large heterogeneousmagmachamber.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Sequential additions (b, c) to the shallowmagmachamberlead to a larger and increasingly molten body of magma.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Hybrid magma generation observations also imply that the variation in the deposits reflects the almost undisturbed stratification in themagmachamberprior to the eruptions.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The proposed model accounts for both generation of magma by partial melting and the crystallization of this magma in a high-levelmagmachamber.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Even if such amagmachamberextended through the entire crust, its height/diameter ratio would still be less than one.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The layered cumulates are the product of repeated injections of magma that fractionated in an open-systemmagmachamber.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is therefore probable that the parentalmagmachamberis now largely eroded away.
From theCambridge English Corpus
If the ongoing flux of magma is sufficient, complete crystallization is hindered and a crystal-richmagmachambergrows larger and larger.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This evidence is at best indirect, but the indications are that the erupted magmas prior to their removal from themagmachamberwere relatively dry.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The lack of a volatile-rich cap to themagmachambersuggests volatile over-pressurization was not the prime cause of eruption.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The largest explosive eruptions (> 10 km3) occurred at the end of each cycle, culminating in caldera collapse and destruction of themagmachamber.
From theCambridge English Corpus
There are no signs of local tectonic subsidence, and the absence of hydrothermal activity excludes a shallowmagmachamberand shallow plutons.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The shape and size of amagmachamberare also critical factors affecting the mixing process.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The various felsic units are related by episodes of fractional crystallization in a high-level, zonedmagmachamber.
From theCambridge English Corpus
As a consequence of temperature variations in the largemagmachamber, various packets of magma would have different crystallinities, different mineral and melt compositions, different densities and different viscosities.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This zonation apparently reflects gradients that existed in the originalmagmachamberprior to eruption, with mechanical sorting of crystals during eruption being of minor importance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In this work the term 'caldera' is used exclusively for a topographic depression caused by predominantly vertical subsidence into a subvolcanicmagmachamberin response to magma withdrawal.
