    The physics that controls magmatic ascent and near‐surface lateral intrusion is briefly discussed. It is argued that silicic magmas can intrude subhorizontal horizons within unconsolidated sediments to form sills that are tens of kilometres in length but only tens of metres in thickness.

    Commingling between contemporaneous mafic and felsic magmas is now widely recognized in a broad range of intrusions and intrusive complexes. These interactions are important features for two main of reasons: (1) the rapidly chilled margins of mafic magma against silicic magma commonly preserve the compositions of mafic liquids, and (2) because the mafic magma solidifies rapidly, the resulting (final) configurations of mafic and felsic magmas can provide insights into physical processes and changing viscosity contrasts and rheologies of magmas and felsic crystal mush during crystallization of the mafic magma.
