  8. Deep crustal hot zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_crustal_hot_zone

    The Deep Crustal Hot Zone (DCHZ), or just deep hot zone, is a zone in the lower crust where hot mantle material intrudes. [1] [2] In a volcanic arc setting, hot, molten material from the mantle may intrude into the lower crust. This hot material generates a new, more evolved melt in this area of the crust, which may collect and migrate upwards ...
