The initial ice crystal habit is dependent upon the temperature and degree of supersaturation with respect to ice and liquid water aloft (Magono and Lee 1966). Supersaturation of the volatile phase may occur via rapid crystallization of anhydrous phases in the melt or via rapid decompression of the magma chamber, which increases the liquidus and solidus of a particular melt, and decreases the maximum volatile solubility. 30,000x) resulted in supersaturation and precipitation of SPE elutes. |
