New findings from China's Chang'e 6 lunar farside samples offer insights into the moon's volcanic past and mantle evolution.

They found four pockets together contain more liquid magma than was present during large, caldera-forming eruptions at ...

More liquid magma lurks beneath the Yellowstone supervolcano than scientists once thought. But don’t panic: That amount of magma, researchers say, is still nowhere near enough to portend an ...

One of the magma reservoirs underneath the Yellowstone Caldera, a huge crater and supervolcano, holds more liquid molten rock than scientists previously estimated, suggests new research published ...

Far from a smooth blend of molten rock, magma reservoirs contain a large amount of solid rock, semi-liquid crystals, gasses and other volatile substances.

“We focused on understanding magma source reservoirs deep beneath our feet, where extreme heat melts solid rocks into magma at depths of around 10 to 20 kilometers [6.2 to 12.4 miles].” ...

Over a thousand miles from the surface, in Earth’s D” layer—right on the edge of the liquid metal outer core—there is a weird ...

But magma is a mixture of both solid and liquid parts, and not all of it can erupt. To find out just how much geologic goulash can potentially come out of the volcano if it erupts, ...

There is more magma under the Yellowstone caldera than previously thought, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign published in Science Dec. 1. But ...

They found four pockets together contain more liquid magma than was present during large, caldera-forming eruptions at Yellowstone in the past (one 2.8 million years ago, one 1.3 million years ago ...
