FORMATION OF DIKES AND SILLS UNDER KLYUCHEVSKOI VOLCANO BY MAGMA INTRUSION THROUGH THE CONDUIT

Abstract

The problem of magma intrusion through conduit walls is examined using the example of Klyuchevskoi Volcano. Magma intrusion takes place at all depths; the initial break through the wallrocks occurs mainly as a vertical dike. The properties and behavior of the dike-invaded viscoelastic wallrocks are discussed.
