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 ...

Mars’ thick crust may have been a hidden engine of geological activity, producing granitic magmas and sustaining underground ...

However, neither of these processes would change the chemical composition of the magma if the new material added is the same as the existing one. Rock analysis compilations show that rhyolite and ...

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