How are minerals formed in metamorphic rocks? How does a magma deposit form? In what ways can magma be generated from solid rock? How is igneous rock formed? What causes magma to form? How do landforms from magma form and become exposed?
Igneous rocks form when magma (molten rock) cools and crystallizes, either at volcanoes on the surface of the Earth or while the melted rock is still inside
How Do Cinder Cones Form? Cinder cones form when molten rock known as "magma" approaches Earth's surface. The magma that forms cinder cones contains a tremendous amount of dissolved gas - and that gas is what powers a cinder cone eruption. Some gas-charged magmas contain several percent volc...
Diamonds are most often found in kimberlite pipes, carrot-shaped, volcanic rock formations. Diamonds started out as carbon that crystallized deep in the earth under great pressure and temperature. Volcanic activity brought the diamonds to the Earth’s surface in kimberlite magma. Erosion of kimberlite...
There are a few continental ridge areas, where the magma does spew out onto land; but most land volcanoes are produced by subduction zone volcanism and hot spot volcanism. When the solid rock changes form to a more liquid rock material, it becomes less dense than the surrounding solid rock....

So what happens to the magma formed by these processes? We saw that the magma produced at ocean ridges just hardens to form new crust material, and so doesn't produce spewing land volcanoes. There are a few continental ridge areas, where the magma does spew out onto land; but most land...
In "Magma Breather", it is revealed that the Terrible Terrors in the "Crystal Realm" section of the Hidden World will often cuddle beside the strange, green-glowing minerals found within it. These rocks appear to emit warmth that is soothing to the terrors, which is why they will often ...
By mixing certain minerals and ores, it is able to create an alloy called Gronckle Iron, which can be shaped into weapons and instruments that are lighter and stronger than those made of pure iron. Meatlug was able to create a large amount of Gronckle Iron as shown in the episode "The ...
