14 Causes of Deflation Submarine eruption –Should cause deformation signal Lateral intrusion –Should cause deformation signal Vesicle segregation –Should cause densification = gravity signal Drainback

44 Conclusions Intrusion is forming by unsteady but continual supply of magma. Feedback between faulting of the roof, eruption, and resupply. Feedback between pressure, volume, and degassing. Dikes do not form along faults!

58 Questions What causes the fluctuation in magma supply? Why do dikes form on the hinge, not the fault? What controls faulting vs. eruption? Why didn’t faulting relieve pressure? How does the feedback between pressure, volatiles, and deformation work?
