TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of the history of Volcanic Systems and their role in the evolution of the Earth's geology, including the origin and transport of Magma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magma mixing: a mechanism for triggering acid explosive eruptions
TL;DR: Injection of basic magma into acid magma causes superheating of the acid and vigorous convection as discussed by the authors, which can lead to an explosive acid eruption in volcanic edifices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimates of sulfur and chlorine yield to the atmosphere from volcanic eruptions and potential climatic effects
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical method based on electron microprobe analysis of volcanic tephra was proposed to estimate the minimum masses of sulfur and chlorine released to the atmosphere by volcanic eruptions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The May 18, 1980, eruption of Mount St. Helens: 1. Melt composition and experimental phase equilibria
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of 57 glass inclusions trapped in plagioclase phenocrysts in the light pumice showed little deviation from an average rhyodacitic composition (69.90±0.87 wt % SiO2) when special care was taken to account for Na loss during the analysis.
