Colli Albani, an Italian volcano, has experienced major eruptions thousands of years ago that don’t fit with current models. Using 3D imaging, a team from UNIGE has unraveled this phenomenon, paving ...

As the magma rises it also cools down, producing tiny crystals that can be brought to the surface during eruptions. When the magma reaches the surface, it can flow—generating lavas—or explode ...

To time how fast a sprinter runs, you just need a stopwatch. To time how fast magma moves, you need to know a little bit ...

By the end of the day, about 7 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, data from 16 crystals was collected and analyzed. The data, which ...

Consider a can of soda. When the can is closed (pressurized), the soda contains dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2). When you open ...

These findings validate the lunar magma ocean hypothesis ... near sides indicate regional differences in the mantle's post-crystallization development. The research further highlights that ...

Magnitude-3.4 at 12:46 a.m. March 11 at 10 miles southeast of Pāhala and depth of 20 miles. Magnitude-3.4 at 4:08 p.m. March ...

Molten rock (magma) beneath the Earth’s surface behaves similarly and we can learn from the gas trapped in tiny bubbles preserved in crystals from the rock after it’s erupted on the surface.
