Dike propagation through layered rocks

Dike penetration through a succession of upper crustal layers with different densities is studied with a new numerical code. For an individual layer to significantly affect dike ascent, its thickness must be of order 1 when scaled to the characteristic length-scale for the inflated nose region that...
