Bimodal volcanism of back-arc basin formation and in the products of both continental and oceanic hotspots (e.g. Yellowstone and the Canary Islands). Bimodal volcanism is normally explained as a result of partial melting of the crust, creating granitic magmas, during the emplacement of large volumes of relatively hot basaltic magma from a mantle source. The two magma types then form separate magma chambers giving rise to periodic eruption of both types of lava. Bimodal volcanism Bimodal volcanism is the eruption of both mafic and felsic lavas from a single volcanic centre with little or no lavas of intermediate composition. This type of
Intermediate Jacobian Intermediate Jacobian In mathematics, the intermediate Jacobian of a compact Kähler manifold or Hodge structure is a complex torus that is a common generalization of the Jacobian variety of a curve and the Picard variety and the Albanese variety. It is obtained by putting a complex structure on the torus "H"(M,R)/"H"(M,Z) for "n" odd. There are several different natural ways to put a complex structure on this torus, giving several different sorts of intermediate Jacobians, including one due to and one due to . The ones constructed by Weil have natural polarizations if "M" is projective, and so are abelian
