Volcano crystal balls. Magma, the super-hot molten rock which feeds volcanic eruptions, is generated many tens of kilometers ...

Like fortune tellers who peer into a crystal ball for insight, volcanologists at the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory peer into the tiny crystals contained in lava flows to learn about the magma ...

A lot of rare earth metals were essentially locked up with the clinopyroxene crystals themselves rather than remaining “in the residual melt,” the authors say.

The mud volcano in question is known as Kumani Bank and, as shown in images captured by cameras on the Landsat 8 and 9 satellites, it had erupted enough material to form a so-called “ghost ...

A recent study has mathematically clarified how the presence of crystals and gas bubbles in magma affects the propagation of seismic P-waves. The researchers derived a new equation that ...

Chemistry students at the University of Cincinnati are exploring lab-grown crystals that do extraordinary things when exposed to light. They bend. They twist. They bounce. And sometimes they explode.

One would think that a volcano was not the most hospitable place for living organisms. However, the Borealis Mud Volcano, at 400 m water depth, acts as a sanctuary for a number of marine species.

The biggest danger from the volcano are lahars, a mixture of ash, rock, mud and debris, that can bury entire towns. A 2018 eruption killed 194 people and left another 234 missing.. Isaac García ...

Erupting volcano in Iceland ignites "continuous curtain of fire" 01:01 A volcano near a major naval base on Russia's eastern coast erupted early Sunday after a powerful magnitude-7.0 earthquake ...

Decoding volcanic ‘crystal balls’ can help scientists tell ahead of time when a volcano is going to erupt Crystals hold a secret history of volcanoes – and clues about future eruptions Home ...
