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 ...

Scientists compare volcanic cones on Earth and Mars to explain how gas-rich magma forms scoria cones. Spacecraft observations and Earth analog sites provide evidence of similar eruptive processes.

In an effort to better understand volcanic activity and its origins on Earth and beyond, University researchers have examined the creation of magma chambers to help explain why these chambers exist at ...

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 ...

There's a new theory for how the Moon came to be that would solve some of the Giant Impact Hypothesis' issues. If Earth had a magma ocean on it already, a lot of problems work out. Share on Facebook ...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Magma rumbling up from below is increasing the pressure within Mount Etna, a process geologists say threatens more frequent and stronger eruptions in the future. Following Etna's ...
