Basaltic Plinian eruptions at Las Sierras-Masaya volcano driven by cool storage of crystal-rich magmas

Basaltic Plinian eruptions at Las Sierras-Masaya volcano driven by cool storage of crystal-rich magmas

Large explosive eruptions of basaltic magma are promoted by low pre-eruptive temperatures in crystallising shallow magma reservoirs, according to an integrated petrological, geochemical and numerical modelling study.
