Fig. 6

a Schematic representation of liquid immiscibility occurrence on a binary melt temperature-composition diagram (not to scale). TE et TG represent the eruptive temperature (ca. 1095 °C29) and glass transition temperature range (between ca. 500 and 600 °C27), respectively. Cases 1, 2, and 3 correspond to the different lava flow facies that are identified in Fig. 2 and independently investigated in Figs. 3, 4, and 5, respectively. b Summary of the processes involved in each lava facies.
