A massive 'gravity hole' pulling down the Indian Ocean has stumped scientists for years, but the mystery may have just been ...

A volcanic eruption is unlikely to occur at Yellowstone National Park because of the magma formations underneath, according to research published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, and the ...

Understanding the formation of this magma ocean is crucial for comprehending Earth's formation. A major problem with current ...

Io’s long-debated magma ocean may not exist. Juno spacecraft data reveals that tidal forces deform the moon differently than ...

Moon was once covered by global magma ocean but later bombardments of asteroids caused different evolution processes,’ ...

“How to find the appropriate method to decode the formation of arc magma? This is one important problem in solid Earth science.” Said Yi-Xiang Chen, the leading author of the paper, who is a ...

During their research, scientists confirmed the presence of the KREEP layer in the far side samples, suggesting that the ...

Yellowstone and Hawaiʻi. These systems a well known for producing large volumes of magma through time and leaving chains of volcanic features in their wake, although they do so in very different ways.

About 20 million years ago, fragments from Tethys disrupted high-density material in the mantle, originating from the "African blob"—a massive magma formation under Africa, 100 times taller than ...

The formation of rare earth element deposits begins ... When the mantle melts to form magma, the rare earth elements move easily into the magma. If the amount of melting is small, the magma ...

These findings validate the lunar magma ocean hypothesis, which states that the moon experienced global-scale melting shortly after its formation, creating a vast magma ocean. As the molten ...
