Abstract

Directions of magma flow were measured in a system of radial dikes in Makhtesh Ramon, Israel. The flow directions were determined from field observations of segments, fingers, grooves, and groove molds of the dikes. The study indicates that the mean axis of magma flow is subhorizontal toward the north, in agreement with the direction of divergence of the radial dike system. Two modes of flow were observed.-from Authors
