The original emplacement and flow structures did not collapse because of the high viscosity and high yield-strength of the crystal mushes, strong enough to withhold the gravitational forces imposed on the mushes after flow eased. The observed sequence of crystallization in the rocks suggests that the crystal mushes were formed in a staging chamber at a depth between 4 and 9 km. 2, record 1, English, - crystal%20mush

Some magmas have already begun to crystallise by the time they reach the surface. Again, this applies particularly to the cooler, more viscous magmas typical of destructive plate margins. A "crystal mush" will clearly have increased viscosity. 3, record 1, English, - crystal%20mush

La mise en place originale et les structures d'épanchement ne se sont pas effondrées, à cause de la viscosité et le seuil d'élasticité élevés de ces émulsions, suffisamment fortes pour contrecarrer les forces dues à la gravitation imposées à mesure que cessait l'épanchement. D'après la séquence de cristallisation observée dans ces roches, les émulsions de cristaux se sont formées dans une chambre transitoire à une profondeur entre 4 et 9 km. 5, record 1, French, - %C3%A9mulsion%20de%20cristaux
