Enigmatic Relationship Between Silicic Volcanic And Plutonic Rocks, April 2016, Vol. 12, No. 2
$20.00
The relationship between silicic volcanic and plutonic rocks has long puzzled geologists. Although the compositional evolution for volcanic and plutonic rock suites are virtually identical, there is much debate whether rhyolites form as melt extracted from granite plutons or whether the two rock types reflect wholly separate origins.
Enigmatic Relationship Between Silicic Volcanic And Plutonic Rocks
April 2016, Vol. 12, No. 2
The relationship between silicic volcanic and plutonic rocks has long puzzled geologists. Although the compositional evolution for volcanic and plutonic rock suites are virtually identical, there is much debate whether rhyolites form as melt extracted from granite plutons or whether the two rock types reflect wholly separate origins. This issue discusses the broad set of observations from petrology, geochronology, thermal modeling, geophysical techniques, and geochemistry that lead to contradictory interpretations and no simple description for the relationship. Discerning how silicic volcanic and plutonic rocks are connected will affect important Earth science questions such as “how is continental crust formed?” and “can we predict supereruptions?”
