Dendritic crystallization in hydrous basaltic magmas controls magma mobility within the Earth’s crust
In situ 4D experiments at high temperature and moderate pressure reveal that rapid dendritic crystallization in hydrous basaltic magmas promotes a rheological transition within minutes, controlling magma mobility within the Earth’s crust.
