Cartoon illustrating the crustal underplating model as it applies to the Moon. In this model, basaltic magmas either underplate preexisting crust or rise through the crust and erupt onto the lunar surface.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Cartoon illustrating the crustal underplating model as it applies to the Moon. In this model, basaltic magmas either underplate preexisting crust or rise through the crust and erupt onto the lunar surface. The heat from the magamas partially melts the preexisting crust and generates a thermally and compositionally buoyant magma that is both Si- and Th-rich. The buoyant rhyolite magma in this diagram rises to the surface via faults created during the formation of large impact basins (location of the basin rim is labeled). Diagram modified from Hagerty et al (2006).
