Crystal Fractionation

Crystal fractionation is a magmatic differentiation process in igneous petrology whereby the sequential crystallization and physical removal of mineral phases from a cooling magma progressively alter the chemical composition of the residual melt, thereby driving magma evolution in plutonic and volcanic systems.
