Eruption versus intrusion? : arrest of propagation of constant volume, buoyant, liquid-filled cracks in an elastic, brittle host

When a volume of magma is released from a source at depth, one key question is whether or not this will culminate in an eruption or in the emplacement of a shallow intrusion. We address some of the physics behind this question by describing and interpreting laboratory experiments on the propagation...
