Microscopic evidence reveals how cooling magma chambers were recharged by fresh volcanic injections 2.5 billion years ago to ...

A new study based on the sampling and analysis of volcanic ash at Cumbre Vieja volcano in the Canary Islands, located off Africa's northwest coast, suggests that the composition of magma could drive ...

Volcanic eruptions are dangerous and difficult to predict. A team has found that the ratio of atoms in specific gases released from volcanic fumaroles (gaps in the Earth's surface) can provide an ...

4.5 billion years ago, amid the chaos of the early solar system, the young Earth was rocked by a cataclysmic collision with another planet the size of Mars. The debris flung into space eventually ...

Q: Is all volcanic magma the same temperature? A: The temperature of magma inside a volcano — and of lava as it emerges — is highly variable and depends in part on the chemical composition of the ...

Earth Scientists at Cambridge University have analyzed rock and crystal samples from magma that was extruded in the pre-historic Borgarhraun eruption in Iceland and found that the magma body reached ...
