Sequential phreatomagmatic eruptions during the lateral propagation of giant dyke swarms by Pryce, E, Cartwright, J, Kirkham, C, Phillips, D

“…The well data allow us to exclude crater forming mechanisms based on collapse into a void, but are consistent with those linked to phreatomagmatic eruption. We propose that the rapid cooling of dyke magma during the phreatomagmatic eruptive process was an important contributory factor in the upward arrest of dyke propagation, preventing surface extrusion and hence promoting lateral propagation.…”
