Journal Article
Petford, N. (2022). How are silicic volcanic and plutonic systems related? Part 2: Insights from phase-equilibria, thermodynamic modelling and textural evidence. Earth-Science Reviews, 235, Article 104250. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2022.104250

Thermodynamic modelling shows that, although high-silica rhyolitic melts can form through fractionation of
low-silica rhyolitic magmas the complementary cumulates do not have compositions similar to natural plutonic
granites. Rather than being gran... Read More about How are silicic volcanic and plutonic systems related? Part 2: Insights from phase-equilibria, thermodynamic modelling and textural evidence.
