The rotation of the newborn Earth may have helped to control the evolution of a giant magma ocean sitting on top of its core, researchers say. Knowing how Earth's magma oceans evolved over time could ...

Active terrestrial volcanoes can turn into true behemoths, yet most of these structures are hidden beneath the ocean’s ...

Models that inform how magma moves and volcanic eruptions unfold may need an update, according to a new study. It reports that gas bubbles in magmas can form through the mechanical forces of shear as ...

Underwater volcanoes are powerful geological forces shaping our planet and oceans. These hidden giants form through tectonic ...

Scientists have shown how the freezing of a ‘slushy’ ocean of magma may be responsible for the composition of the Moon’s crust. The scientists, from the University of Cambridge and the Ecole normale ...
