Ultramafic to mafic layered intrusions - Plume Magmatism: Encyclopedia II - Ultramafic to mafic layered intrusions - Intrusive Mechanisms

It is difficult to precisely determine what causes large ultramaficmafic intrusives to be emplaced within the crust, but there are two main hypotheses: plume magmatism and rift upwelling. Ultramafic to mafic layered intrusions - Plume Magmatism. The plume magmatism theory is based on observations that most large igneous provinces include both hypabyssal and surficial manifestations of voluminous mafic magmatism within the same temporal period. For instance, in most Archaean crat ...

Ultramafic to mafic layered intrusions - Plume Magmatism: Encyclopedia II - Ultramafic to mafic layered intrusions - Causes of layering

The causes of layering in large ultramafic intrusions include convection, thermal diffusion, assimilation of wall rocks and fractional crystallization. The primary mechanism for forming cumulate layers is of course the accumulation of layers of mineral crystals on the floor or roof of the intrusion. Rarely, plagioclase is found in cumulate layers at the top of intrusions, having floated to the top of a much denser magma. Here it can form anorthosite layers. Accumulation occurs as crystals are formed by fractional crystallisatio ...
