Combined effusive-explosive silicic volcanism straddles the multiphase viscous-to-brittle transition
Recent observations of silicic eruptions show that they can be both effusive and explosive at the same time. Here the authors use scaled experiments to demonstrate that magma in effusive eruptions will fracture during flow to the Earth’s surface, accommodating mixed eruption styles.
