Role of mechanical erosion in controlling the effusion rate of basaltic eruptions

Abstract In many basaltic eruptions, observations show that the effusion rate of magma has a typical dependence on time: the effusion rate curves show first a period of increasing and later a decreasing phase by a maximum value. We present a model to explain this behavior by the emptying of a magma...
