A schematic diagram illustrating magma evolution. It contains two magma chambers. The first magma chamber is located at a depth of 10 km, and the other is at 13 km; these two magma chambers are depicted in a vertical arrangement. The lower magma chamber has a higher degree of crystallization and is in a crystal mush state. Upwelling magma from deeper sources carries plagioclase crystals, which have crystallized in the lower magma chamber, into the upper magma chamber.
