Although volcanic eruptions are spectacular natural events that occur around the world every day, most volcanoes spend the ...

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 ...

Early in the formation of Earth, an ocean of magma covered the planet's surface and stretched thousands of miles deep into its core. The rate at which that "magma ocean" cooled affected the formation ...

The discovery has revealed a hidden process that could change how scientists understand volcanic systems.

Understanding what triggers large volcanic eruptions is crucial for hazard assessment, but the exact mechanism driving these ...

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 ...
