Researchers have mathematically elucidated how the presence of crystals and gas bubbles in magma affects the propagation of seismic P-waves. A novel equation was derived to describe the travel of ...

Tiny crystals suggest extinct volcanoes could still grow underground, a finding that could reshape how scientists assess ...

Researchers at Diamond Light Source have used advanced imaging to look at microscopic crystals, called nanolites, to see what they can tell us about volcanic eruptions. Highly explosive eruptions ...

For years, the Methana volcano located in Greece has been categorised as a dormant volcano since it has always appeared ...

Consider a can of soda. When the can is closed (pressurized), the soda contains dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2). When you open the can, the pressure drops, bubbles form and rise. Molten rock (magma) ...

Scientists found the Methana volcano remained active for 100,000 years, producing magma deep underground without erupting.

An illustration of Earth as it existed during part of its formation billions of years ago, when an ocean of magma covered the surface of the planet and stretched thousands of miles deep into the core.
