If the high temperature intermediate composition alkali feldspars are allowed to cool slowly, exsolution occurs and a perthite structure results. Source: Internet

If massive exsolution occurs when magma heads upwards during a volcanic eruption, the resulting eruption is usually explosive. Source: Internet
