Since silicic magmas are colder and goopier than mafic magmas, dissolved gases have a harder time venting out of them. This ...
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 ...

Scientists Just Discovered How Planets Make Water from Magma, No Comets Needed
In the early chaos of planetary formation, before crusts cooled or atmospheres settled, water might already have been ...
Iceland is bracing for a volcanic eruption, as thousands of small earthquakes have shaken the southern part of the Reykjanes peninsula since October. The earthquakes were caused by a huge amount of ...
Magma may have reached very high up in the Earth’s crust, according to Iceland’s Meteorological Office (IMO), which says people will have to “wait in suspense for the next few days” to see how events ...
The flow of magma into a 15-kilometre-long crack ahead of the recent volcanic eruptions in Iceland occurred at the highest rate observed anywhere in the world for this kind of event. World's first ...
New lunar samples from the far side reveal it formed from cooler magma than the near side, confirming the Moon’s interior is not uniform. Researchers suggest fewer heat-producing elements on the far ...
Scientists are planning to drill into an Iceland volcano in the hunt for near-unlimited energy. The project, helmed by the Krafla Magma Testbed (KMT) organization, is set to start drilling into a ...

An ocean of magma formed early in Earth's history and it may still influence our planet today, study finds
Earth held a deep ocean of magma beneath its surface in its early history, new research finds, potentially explaining odd anomalies seen in the mantle today. This basal magma ocean has been hotly ...
This basal magma ocean has been hotly debated for years. Some geochemical evidence indicates that in the first few hundred million years of the planet's existence, a persistent sea of melt formed at ...
