How to pronounce “magma” in English

Magma is less dense than the surrounding rock, so it tends to rise toward the surface and collect in underground pools called magma chambers,

Magma then breaks the surface and becomes lava, the name we give to molten rock when it’s above ground.

For magma to burst from the surface, conditions have to be just right.

Think of that magma with all its dissolved gases like a shaken-up bottle of soda.

As the magma cooled over time, it formed a special type of igneous formation called a laccolith.

They’re created when magma exits up to the earth’s surface, becoming lava, where it cools and hardens into rock.

One is when magma—molten rock under the earth’s surface—or lava— molten rock that breaks through the surface—cools down and crystallizes.

Is there magma being injected underground, or is the magma draining away?

And when magma leaks out of the surface, it just kind of bubbles up and spreads out.

It was a liquid magma ocean.

melt becomes magma that just drives up through what we call the Manel and the

That’s how you get magma collecting in reservoirs that can blast to the surface.

Recent studies suggest there's more magma down there than we initially thought.

That means it formed from magma that rose up and cooled very slowly, inside other rocks below Earth’s surface.

The earth was a big ball of magma at one point.

This is a giant wall of basically magma.

That material gets pulled back down to the magma where it can eventually come out back again through volcanism.

call that molten rock when it’s underground—magma.

the vuia school of writing where it's all magma that the writer just sits there and it just explodes out of them and it's sort of

Only around 400,000 people live on the world's largest magmatic island.

That energy can come from landslides, churning magma, or even meteorite impacts.

That difference partly comes from the amount of gas that’s dissolved in the magma— more gas equals more explosive power.

Geologists give molten rock different names depending on where it’s hanging out: “magma” is when it’s underground, and “lava” Is when it’s above ground.

At Los Cuernos, when the magma intruded into the mountain, it oozed between layers of sedimentary rock.

As it did so, the magma’s heat baked the rock it touched, causing it to change identity.

They're basically crystallizing as the warm gases are released from the magma chamber in a slower way than a violent eruption, and they're beautiful.

This is literally the zit that formed on the face of planet Earth as this magma plume rose up and pushed beneath it and then started to rip, tear open

And it's that rising of the land of the continent for that magma plume and the features of that tectonic Rift Valley

But they can also form inside structures like calderas, which are created when a ton of magma erupts quickly and drains the chamber below,

Volcanologists— who are not a species from “Star Trek” but rather scientists who study volcanoes— keep tabs on the amount of magma held within the volcano's underground reservoir,

All that tectonic movement can crack deep fissures in the crust, where water and magma mix.

Eventually, carbon dioxide and water trapped within deep pockets of magma explode into powerful kimberlite eruptions.

Around 12.5 million years ago, three pulses of magma pumped out of Earth’s depths and slid in between the sedimentary rock layers that now make up much of the mountain.

His journey started underground millions of years ago, when magma collected in a bleb under Earth's surface, slowly cooling to form our igneous buddy.

And this is what we do to use the gas to learn about what's going on inside the magma chamber beneath.

What drove that drying out of East Africa from beneath our ancestors' feet was there was a great big plume of magma rising up

It's basalt, so it would have been-- it's ancient magma that would have fed eruptions a little further west to create the Watch Tongue Mountains in northern New Jersey,

And that pressure, combined with the high heat, allows gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur to dissolve into the magma.

And Earth’s baby years sparked the formation of over a thousand more, thanks to weathering, the movement of water, the churning and cooling of magma, and the pressure from colliding tectonic plates.

You know, we've never been able to actually take a sample of the fact that the earth has magma all the way down until you get to a at first a liquid metal core,

Imagine being able to produce that in a rich, real-time simulation alongside your friend to physically agitate the magma, then be expelled into the atmosphere.

Well nominally, or just thinking about it the first way, the Earth is made of these big slabs of land that move around on the lava or “magma,” which is what geologists

I am categorically opposed to what I call, the "Vesuvius School of Writing" where it’s all magma.

There's like a perfect-- and this has only been in the last few years, we've had really fine scale radioisotope dating of these giant magmatic sills and eruptions.
