Scientists have shown how the freezing of a 'slushy' ocean of magma may be responsible for the composition of the Moon's crust. Scientists have shown how the freezing of a 'slushy' ocean of magma may ...

Scientists have uncovered a long-missing piece of the volcanic puzzle: rising magma doesn’t just form explosive gas bubbles when pressure drops—it can do so simply by being sheared and “kneaded” ...

For decades, volcanologists believed that the primary trigger for explosive eruptions was a drop ...

Scientists have discovered that shear forces inside rising magma can create gas bubbles long before pressure drops occur. The intensity of a volcanic eruption is shaped by how many gas bubbles develop ...

Researchers investigate the effects of oxygen content on the melting of mantle rocks and the formation of early Earth magma It is widely accepted that the early Earth largely consisted of molten magma ...

The moon may have formed after a giant Mars-size rock hit a magma-covered newborn Earth, a new study finds. Earth came together about 4.5 billion years ago, and previous research suggested the moon ...

A giant, sombrero-shaped rock formation is growing in the Andes as magma bobs up like a blob in a lava lamp, new research has found. These findings, detailed in the Oct. 12 issue of the journal ...
