    Near-Surface Cooling Stalls Giant Dyke Swarms in Crust

    Understanding Giant Dyke Swarms Giant dyke swarms are expansive networks of long, sheet-like cracks in Earth’s crust that channel magma laterally. These structures play a crucial role in how molten rock moves from deep reservoirs toward shallower levels, influencing volcanic behavior, crust formation, and mineral resource distribution. Recent research emphasizes how cooling near the surface…
