Figure 26-16. Schematic one-component T-P phase diagram showing the topology of a four-phase multisystem in which all invariant points are stable. Because only three phases (C+2) coexist at an invariant point, a complete system should have four invariant points, each with one phase absent. Phases absent at invariant points are in square brackets, phases absent for univariant reactions are in parentheses. Winter (2001) An Introduction to Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology.

Figure 26-18. a. Hypothetical reaction D + E = F in a two-component phase diagram. Note that the D-absent and E-absent curves must both lie on the side of the initial univariant curve opposite to the field in which D + E is stable. Likewise the F-absent curve must lie on the side opposite to the field in which F is stable. b. A second hypothetical univariant curve (D-absent) is added. c. The complete topology of the invariant point can then be derived from the two initial reactions in (b). The chemographics may then be added to each divariant field.
