A groundbreaking study has unveiled a fiery, subterranean process that could explain the abundance of water across the solar ...

Our galaxy's most abundant type of planet could be rich in liquid water due to formative interactions between magma oceans ...

Scientists have shown how the freezing of a 'slushy' ocean of magma may be responsible for the composition of the Moon's crust. Scientists have shown how the freezing of a 'slushy' ocean of magma may ...

Washington, DC— Our galaxy’s most abundant type of planet could be rich in liquid water due to formative interactions between ...

Models that inform how magma moves and volcanic eruptions unfold may need an update, according to a new study. It reports that gas bubbles in magmas can form through the mechanical forces of shear as ...

Scientists are embarking on a research expedition to improve volcanic eruption forecasting by learning more about how a deep-underground feeder system creates and supplies magma to Mount St. Helens.

Underwater volcanoes are powerful geological forces shaping our planet and oceans. These hidden giants form through tectonic activity and magma rising from Earth's depths. While most eruptions are ...

Until now, the scientific community debated the starting point of liquid mantle solidification: did it begin deep within the Earth and progress toward the surface, or vice versa? Through advanced ...

LONDON — The young moon may have been a magma "mush" for hundreds of millions of years before it solidified, a scientist says. The idea, presented at a recent Royal Society conference focusing on 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 ...
