INTERACTION OF MANTLE-DERIVED MELTS WITH CRUST ON ITS UPWELLING TO THE SURFACE: REASON AND CONSEQUENCE

INTERACTION OF MANTLE-DERIVED MELTS WITH CRUST ON ITS UPWELLING TO THE SURFACE: REASON AND CONSEQUENCE

The work considers the mechanism of upwelling of the basaltic melt to the surface and the reason of its stoppage in the crust. The process of stoppage, probably, is controlled by ratio between density of the basaltic melt and density of the crust. If density of the basaltic melt is lower it goes up...
