Dike Propagation

Dike Propagation is a geological process in which molten rock intrudes through fractures in the Earth's crust by fracturing and extending host rock, distinguished from other magma transport mechanisms by its mode of tensile fracture opening and lateral magma migration beneath shield volcanoes.
