Note that although the three compositions have about the same solubilities at the same temperature, the three types of magmas are liquid at very different temperatures, and their solubilities under natural conditions will differ accordingly. As shown in (b), the solubility in granite increases with falling temperature; basalt and andesite show similar effects. Hence natural basalts have the lowest solubility as natural liquids and granites the highest. The pressure of another gas, such as CO,,, decreases the solubility of H20. |c) shows solubilities in a basaltic melt at 1.2Q0°C and two different total pressures, one and three kilo-bars.
