However, magma's crystals and bubbles make it more likely to behave as a non-Newtonian fluid whose viscosity decreases under greater stress (known ... non-Newtonian magma flow in dikes.

shows how fracturing and tectonic stress can drive massive magma flow into dikes with only modest overpressure in the feeding magma body. According to the authors, the measurement of such high ...

with tectonic stress and the tendency of the ground to crack and fracture being important factors in how much magma flows into a dike, and thus how likely a volcano is to erupt. "Such high flow ...

Geologists turned to tiny bubbles to investigate the dynamics driving magma flow beneath Hawaii’s volcanoes as the country’s islands drift northwest on a tectonic plate. They found that, as the ...

In the study, published in Physics of Fluids, the researchers developed a new equation by integrating two distinct mathematical models of magma flow. The results show that P-wave velocity ...

They analyzed a period that ended in May 2022, so it is not yet possible to say whether they can spot the magma flow that led to ... reactions and processes that stress or weaken the rock ...

Authorities at the time used sea water to help disrupt the flow of magma ... "While magma accumulation continues, ongoing seismic activity can be expected due to the stress release in the area ...

But since the study period ended in May 2022, they could not say if magma flow in these chambers led ... of magma into a space can create a lot of stress that may trigger such quake swarms.
