As these tiny amounts of melt find each other, they merge into larger magma bodies that pry open jagged conduits through which they ascend further. Mantle supply refers to the flux of these magmas ...

The source for the isotopically-enriched Hawaiian magmas contains peridotites that experienced near-surface melting prior ...

Venus—a hot planet pocked with tens of thousands of volcanoes—may be even more geologically active near its surface than ...

Like straight out of Julio Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth, scientists from Northwestern University and the ...

Volcanoes are responsible for building more than 80 percent of the Earth’s surface, and a subject of fascination and research ...

By determining which ice sheets melted to create a colossal increase in sea levels 14,500 years ago, scientists hope to ...

They explain the observed eruption rates, up to 100 times higher than in the glacial period and in recent times, as the consequence of the unloading of ice sheets, leading to increased degree of ...
