Hypothesized magmatic system feeding the crystal-poor rhyolitic eruptions encircling Laguna del Maule (adapted from Hildreth, 2004). Section is SW-NE along bent line in Figure 1B. Observations support inferences shown here, including: (1) rapid uplift, (2) shallow earthquakes, (3) active intrusion of mafic magma at 5 km depth, and (4) normal faulting and geodetic data that record extension.
