Granitic Intrusions
Linked via "felsic magma"
Tectonic Settings and Emplacement Mechanisms
The formation of large-scale granitic batholiths is overwhelmingly associated with convergent plate boundaries, specifically subduction zones, where partial melting of the mantle wedge and/or overlying crustal material generates the necessary felsic magma. However, a significant proportion of intrusive events, particularly those producing dikes and [sil… -
Lobate Flows
Linked via "felsic magma"
Distribution and Examples
Lobate flow fields are common in continental rift zones and areas associated with caldera collapse where large volumes of felsic magma are generated.
