A magmatic lull is a period of declined magmatic activity in volcanically active regions. They may occur as a result of underthrusting of hinterland lithosphere beneath a volcanic arc, changes in subduction parameters such as relative velocity, direction and slab dip, arc-arc collisions and subduction hinge advance. Individual magmatic lulls may last tens of millions of years between period...
