formation of batholiths through prolonged crustal thickening with limited surface eruption,episodic magma release as water-rich oceanic crust descends into the mantle,alternating explosive and effusive eruptions from variable magma composition at convergent margins|sequential emergence of volcanic islands as tectonic plates drift over stationary mantle plumes,accumulation of extensive basaltic layers from sustained mantle upwelling far from plate boundaries
