Magma is molten or semi-molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. It forms when rocks melt due to the high temperatures and pressures found deep within the Earth.Magma is less dense than the surrounding solid rock, so it rises to the surface, where it can erupt from volcanoes as lava. A...
Magma formation is a geological process that occurs when rocks in the Earth’s crust and mantle melt due to temperature, pressure, and the presence of volatiles like water and carbon dioxide. This process, which is essential for volcanic activity, occurs in different tectonic settings such as su...

Magma formsfrom partial melting of mantle rocks. As the rocks move upward (or have water added to them), they start to melt a little bit. These little blebs of melt migrate upward and coalesce into larger volumes that continue to move upward. They may collect in a magma chamber or they ...
(least mafic). So ultramafic mantle rock (peridotite) yields a mafic melt (gabbro andbasalt), which forms the oceanic plates at the mid-ocean ridges. Mafic rock yields a felsic melt (andesite,rhyolite,granitoid). The greater the degree of melting, the more closely a magma resembles its ...
rocks that are found at the volcano. Different minerals within a rocks melt at different temperatures and the amount of partial melting and the composition of the original rock determine the composition of the magma. Magma collects inmagma chambersin the crust at 160 kilometers (100 miles) ...
How It Forms Magma forms in either the lower portion of Earth’s crust or the upper part of its mantle. It is produced when high amounts of pressure combine with high temperatures, causing some of the rocks in the area to melt, creating this substance. Without this combination of pressure...
