cotectic [kō′tek·tik]
(physical chemistry) Referring to conditions of pressure, temperature, and composition under which two or more solid phases crystallize at the same time, with no resorption, from a single liquid over a finite range of decreasing temperature.

No references found | Although there is a tendency for the bulk composition of magma chamber M to migrate incrementally toward the composition of invading magma Y, this is immediately counterbalanced as magma M enters the pyroxene stability field, thereby resulting in rapid crystallization of pyroxene that drives the liquid away from the enstatite composition back toward the pyroxene-plagioclase cotectic (Boudreau and McBirney 1997). In this diagram the volume is expressed in Cartesian coordinates and the cotectic faces that are visible in the orientation shown are labeled. Projection of these liquid compositions onto experimentally determined phase diagrams reveals that the slightly higher silica content of Mauna Loa magmas causes evolving liquids to intersect the olivine-pyroxene cotectic. |
