a Effect of the lateral collapse in decompressing silica-rich residual melts stored at a shallower region within the upper crust beneath the volcano. The different types of crystals and their configuration within the magma are represented in the circles. b These shallower reservoirs experienced cooling-crystallisation events and convection, that may ultimately have been driven by the input of small magma batches, to produce the variety of crystal textures observed in Antuco.
