“…Diffusion chronometry suggests that relatively cool, long‐lived reservoirs may be destabilized rapidly by mafic recharge to produce rhyolitic eruptions on time scales of only months to centuries (Andersen et al, 2017, 2018; Druitt et al, 2012; Singer et al, 2016; Till et al, 2015; Wark et al, 2007). How these magma reservoirs are incubated over thousands of years and grow to large volumes in the shallow crust, and whether magma injection or fluid pressurization are responsible for destabilization, unrest, and eruption, is a topic of great interest (e.g., Andersen et al, 2017; Barboni et al, 2016; Gelman et al, 2013; Huber et al, 2019; Jackson et al, 2018; Pritchard et al, 2019; Reath et al, 2020; Rubin et al, 2017; Till et al, 2015). A case has been made for a deep origin of rhyolite by Annen et al (2006); however, another explanation is that the addition of relatively hot, recharge magma to the base of crystal‐rich mush stored in the upper crust incubates and provides heat to aid in melting of cumulate and crustal rocks and provides volatiles that promote the extraction of rhyolite in the shallow crust (Bachmann & Bergantz, 2004; Druitt et al, 2012; Hildreth, 2004; Singer et al, 2016; Wark et al, 2007).…”
