Magma differentiation rates from (226Ra/230Th) and the size and power output of magma chambers
We present a mathematical model for the evolution of the (226Ra / 230Th) activity ratio during simultaneous fractional crystallization and ageing of magma. The model is applied to published data for four volcanic suites that are independently known to have evolved by fractional crystallization. Thes...
