To time how fast a sprinter runs, you just need a stopwatch. To time how fast magma moves, you need to know a little bit ...

Consider a can of soda. When the can is closed (pressurized), the soda contains dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2). When you open ...

Instead, they release part of the magma, while the reservoir slowly replenishes through the gradual melting of the Earth's crust. This discovery changes how scientists interpret the warning signs of ...

Io’s long-debated magma ocean may not exist. Juno spacecraft data reveals that tidal forces deform the moon differently than ...

By the end of the day, about 7 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, data from 16 crystals was collected and analyzed. The data, which ...

the team demonstrated the advantages of these isotopes in tracing arc magma formation. Their findings unveiled a new mechanism: the formation of arc volcanic rocks through the melting of ...

During their research, scientists confirmed the presence of the KREEP layer in the far side samples, suggesting that the magma ocean once spanned the entire moon. However, distinct evolutionary paths ...

As magma rises from 100 km (67 miles ... UCB scientists compiled a large database of analyses of melt inclusions from other frequently erupting volcanic systems in the world, including Iceland ...

The first study on the Moon samples brought back by the Chinese Chang'e-6 mission show that the Moon's far side was just as molten as the near one eons ago.

“It is also possible that an eruption could occur with little or no additional warning,” the Alaska Volcano Observatory ...

A new study of the lunar samples collected by China's Chang'e 6 mission has verified the hypothesis that the moon was entirely covered by a molten "magma ocean" in the early stages after its birth, ...

Earth’s core could contain helium from the early solar system. The noble gas tucks into gaps in iron crystals under high pressure and temperature.
