DYK for Volcanic and igneous plumbing systems

On 1 December 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Volcanic and igneous plumbing systems, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that magma travelling through dykes usually solidifies before it gets to the Earth's surface? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Volcanic and igneous plumbing systems. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Volcanic and igneous plumbing systems), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I noted a strange usage. Is

Crustal diapirs accents from the lower crust due to partial melting.

as intended, or was it supposed to be 'ascends'? In the next sentence, was

... eventually ascents across ...

intended to be 'ascends' ? I think 'ascent' is the thing having been done, and 'ascend' is the thing you are describing as happening, and there are other places they are confused/debatable:

... and ductile magma ascent to a higher lithospheric layer.

... diapirs carries a large volume of melt and ascent through the crust.

And

... the majority of them terminates at depth ...

should be just 'terminate'? Hmm, and

They are commonly emplace within three kilometres below the Earth surface.

should be 'emplaced'?

'concordant' and 'discordant' terms are unclear to the average reader? Maybe not, comparing a definition (definition 4) with your text you do try to explain. Oh, and pictures! And more pictures! Yay!

Thank you for the article. I see things and can't describe them. This helps. I certainly had dykes and sills confused. I think I still do, even after looking at the picture satellite image of Shiprock, which I've seen from a distance. The vertical vs. lateral extension, and which way are they flattened, confuses me.

Thank you for noticing. I have corrected the mistakes. Rachelhunggg (talk) 06:07, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Volcanic and igneous plumbing systems - image sizes

Rachelhunggg, why have you (on 15 December 2021), without explanation, reverted the sizes of images in the Volcanic and igneous plumbing systems article to use large pixel values e.g. 502x502px, instead of using the upright scaling factor e.g. upright=1.35? Editors of articles are encouraged to follow the guidance about image sizes given at MOS:IMGSIZE. — GeoWriter (talk) 22:41, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello GeoWriter, this wikipedia page is an assignment from my university. The lecturer says the size of view of the images should not be too small so I adjusted it for my final submission. I have already submitted it and I won’t make further adjustments from now. You may feel free to readjust it anytime. Thanks! Rachelhunggg (talk) 06:05, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your explanation. I'll adjust the image sizes when I have some free time. — GeoWriter (talk) 14:18, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
