Variation in viscosity
with temperature and
magma composition
Higher viscosity,
thicker/stiffer
At higher temperatures,
magmas have lower
viscosities (i.e. they can flow
more easily) because higher
temperatures reduce the
degree of polymerization
(linkage of SiO4 tetrahedra)
Felsic magmas also are more
viscous than mafic magmas
because they contain more
silica and therefore are more
polymerized. Composition
plays a greater role than
temperature in controlling
viscosity.
Lower viscosity,
flows more easily
What is polymerization?
Variation in viscosity
with water content
Adding water reduces the
degree of polymerization and
thereby reduces the viscosity.

Making magma
How to make rocks melt
- Increase temperature
- generally, temperature increases with depth within the earth
- intrusion of hot, mafic magma can heat the surrounding rocks
and produce melting
- least important way of making magmas
- Decrease pressure
- bring rocks closer to the surface
- extension of the lithosphere
- Change composition by adding fluids, especially water

Bowens reaction series When a magma crystallizes, those minerals with the33
highest melting temperatures form first. The starting point depends on the
composition of the magma. For example, rhyolite doesnt crystallize olivine.
When melting a rock, the sequence takes place in reverse. Minerals like quartz
and mica melt before pyroxene, for example.

Distribution coefficients
If multiple solid phases are present, a bulk distribution coefficient
may be calculated for each trace element of interest.
D = x1Kd1 + x2Kd2 + x3Kd3 etc.
x1, x2, and x3 represent the relative proportions of the individual phases
(e.g. 0.2, 0.2, and 0.6)
