Quantification of fabrics and magmatic textures of rhyolite extrusive domes
Hrudková, Kristýna ; Lexa, Ondrej (advisor) ; Závada, Prokop (referee)
Bubbles in rhyolites are being formed during ascension of rhyolite magma up to the surface. That is beacuse of decreasing content of dissolved water in melt. Stability of bubbles is kept constant because of their own internal pressure, which they are able to sustain for a long period. Some bubbles can occure after the fragmentation of magma in extrusive bodies on the surface. Bubbles created this way have very small size and they don't participate in fragmentation. In my thesis I'm dealing with internal structure of some rhyolite magmatic bodies and description of mechanisms of bubble formation. Furthermore I will concentrate on methods of quantification of the internal structure of extrusive domes, i.e. the AMS magnetic minerals population structure and texture analysis of rock incisions. Texture analysis was concentrated on some aspects, which could help us to assess the extent of distribution of bubbles in strips. In conclusion, I compare the results of these methods to evaluate the importance of individual structural elements for structural-geological interpretation. We investigated samples from extrusive rhyolite body, which are being formed during the gradual egression of magma on the surface. We were investigated bubbles and their realtions between each other by using several methods. On the...
