Abstract
Computational modelling of freezing magma chambers bas suggested that<br>inclusion of the effect of suspended crystal bad (which increases the effective<br>density) serves to split the magma chamber up into a number of stratifications,<br>each stratification a layer of magma of significant depth, but each layer varying<br>in composition. This suggestion has been verified by reviewing the experience of<br>other disciplines (e.g., industry, limnology, etc) whose own efforts indicate the<br>size of these layers are amenable to quantitative estimates.
