Episodic rifting and volcanism at Krafla in north Iceland: Growth of large ground fissures along the plate boundary
The rifting of the plate boundary in north Iceland forms new ground fissures and reactivates old ones. Continuous growth of fissures is observed in the crust above a magma chamber beneath the Krafla caldera as it responds to changes in subterranean magma pressure. Rapid episodes of fissure formation...
