magma chamber
magma chamber A region, postulated to exist below the Earth's surface, in which
magma is received from a source region in the deep
crust or upper
mantle, stored, and from which it moves to the Earth's surface at the site of a
volcano. The existence of
‘magma chambers’ is often invoked by geochemists to provide a location for processes such as
fractional crystallization, because the chemistry of
lavas is explicable only in terms of such processes. When magma moves rapidly from the chamber, as in a
pyroclastic flow eruption, the unsupported chamber roof may collapse to produce a
caldera at the surface. The diameter of the caldera can be used to estimate the diameter of the underlying magma chamber; diameters of up to 40 km are not uncommon for terrestrial subvolcanic magma chambers.
