Archean felsic volcanic rocks in felsic rocks. Timing of felsic volcanism and tectonic constraints can be identified by radiometric dating and isotopic analysis. In Archean, underwater eruptions of felsic lava were common. Submarine eruption is evident by coarse volcanic breccia formed in situ, hyaloclastite or underwater pyroclastic deposits (clastic rock, composed of tephra only). Since felsic magma is viscous, volcanic eruptions that form dacite or rhyolite are explosive and violent. The Archean felsic eruption may be assigned to Vesuvius eruption type in the present day. Submarine rhyolitic flows were widespread in Archean but it is uncommon in the modern volcanic environment. Viscous felsic eruption
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
