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 …

We review the numerous experimental studies dedicated to unravelling the physics and
dynamics of various parts of a volcanic plumbing system. Section 1 lists the model materials …

Growing evidence supports the notion that plutons are constructed incrementally, commonly
over long periods of time, yet field evidence for the multiple injections that seem to be …

The interaction between magmatic and extensional processes related to the formation of
rifted margins has been and still is highly debated. The interpretation of magmatic additions …

Emplacement of magma in the shallow subsurface can result in the development of dome-
shaped folds at the Earth's surface. These so-called “forced folds” have been described in …

Slab retreat, slab tearing and interactions of slabs are first-order drivers of the deformation of
the overriding lithosphere. An independent description of the tectonic evolution of the back …

Abstract The Sierra Valle Fértil Complex of west–central Argentina represents a section of
the Ordovician (∼ 470 Ma) Famatinian arc and exposes a continuous, tilted crustal arc …

The Spirit Mountain batholith (SMB) is a∼ 250 km2 composite silicic intrusion located within
the Colorado River Extensional Corridor in southernmost Nevada. Westward tilting of 40 …

Granites are emblematic rocks developed from a magma that crystallized in the Earth's crust.
They ultimately outcrop at the surface of every continent. This book-translated, edited, and …

Evaluating mechanisms and rates for magma transport and emplacement in the upper crust
is important in order to predict the thermal and rheological state of the crust, and understand …
