Due to their high volatile content, they have a high potential for explosion. How is felsic magma created? Some papers suggest that felsic magmas are produced by fractional crystallization and crustal ...

Their models revealed that regions with crustal thicknesses exceeding 50 kilometers would have experienced widespread partial melting, producing felsic magmas either directly through dehydration ...

A solid crystal floats within the molten rock remaining. Magmas rich in felsic components such as quartz and orthoclase feldspar are higher in silica than those rich in igneous rocks. Magmas with a ...

Furthermore, an extensive interaction between carbonate-rich kimberlite magma and silicate country rocks was recently proposed for Snap Lake kimberlite dyke. This experimental study tested the two ...
