Melting rates

Fairbanks, R. G. (1989). A 17,000-year glacio-eustatic sea level record influence of glacial melting rates on younger dryas event and deep-ocean circulation. Nature 342, 637-642. 

Note that we have defined "interface angle" as the angle between the growing crystal and the residual melt. Rate of pulling also ciffects the quality of the crystal as well as the actual number of intrinsic defects which may appear in the final crystal. In the upper left of 6.4.7., aflat-...

Porous melt flow is likely to be unstable over large distances in the mantle resulting in a transition to channeled magma flow (Aharonov et al. 1995) and this may be swift if melting rates are high and the threshold porosity is quickly exceeded. The arc Ra- °Th...
