A review of the ascent and emplacement of granitoid bodies into the crust

Abstract

This paper relates to basic information (i.e. mechanical aspects of ascent, indicators faciliting the discriminability of various ascent styles) about the models of ascent and emplacement of granitoid bodies, since the purely mechanical aspect of intrusion of magmas is a fascinating subject and it has generated a considerable controversy over many years. Individual models are demonstrated by world-known occurrences and examples from Western Carpathian’s region. The conditions of magma migration are demonstrated as well.
