Time scales and length scales in magma flow pathways and the origin of magmatic Ni–Cu–PGE ore deposits
Ore forming processes involve the redistribution of heat, mass and momentum by a wide range of processes operating at different time and length scales. The fastest process at any given length scale tends to be the dominant control. Applying this principle to the array of physical processes that oper...
