Physical controls and depth of emplacement of igneous bodies: A review
T Menand - Tectonophysics, 2011 - Elsevier
The formation and growth of magma bodies are now recognised as involving the
amalgamation of successive, discrete pulses such as sills. Sills would thus represent the …

Dyke propagation and sill formation in a compressive tectonic environment
Sills could potentially form as a result of dykes modifying their trajectory in response to
remote tectonic compression. Here, we use analogue experiments to investigate how a …

Mechanisms and duration of non-tectonically assisted magma emplacement in the upper crust: The Black Mesa pluton, Henry Mountains, Utah
A new study of Black Mesa pluton (Henry Mountains, Colorado Plateau, Utah, USA)
indicates that it is a classic example of a small upper-crustal pluton assembled over a few …

The effects of magma flux variations on the formation and lifetime of large silicic magma chambers
Incremental emplacement of large silicic intrusions limits the size and lifetime of any magma
chamber if earlier injected magma pulses solidify before the next pulse is emplaced …

Unrest at Domuyo Volcano, Argentina, detected by geophysical and geodetic data and morphometric analysis
New volcanic unrest has been detected in the Domuyo Volcanic Center (DVC), to the east of
the Andes Southern Volcanic Zone in Argentina. To better understand this activity, we …

Pascal's principle, a simple model to explain the emplacement of laccoliths and some mid-crustal plutons
S Morgan - Volcanic and igneous plumbing systems, 2018 - Elsevier
The common ratios between the length and thickness for many plutons and laccoliths
suggests that there is a scale independent mechanism controlling their shape, and therefore …
