If underground shifts in pressure increase the pressure on a magma chamber, the magma chamber may fracture and lead to a volcanic eruption. Sometimes, the remaining magma cools and crystallizes into an igneous body of granite called a pluton.
Accrual (accumulation) of something is, in finance, the adding together of interest or different investments over a period of time. It holds specific meanings in accounting, where it can refer to accounts on a balance sheet that represent liabilities and non-cash-based assets used in accrual-based accounting.
DEFINITION of 'Accrual Bond' A bond that does not pay periodic interest payments. Instead, interest is added to the principal balance of the bond and is either paid at maturity or, at some point, the bond begins to pay both principal and interest based on the accrued principal and interest to that point.
