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 ...
What happens when lava or magma cools? Forms Igneous rocks Extrusive Cools on earth's surface Intrusive Cools in earth's interior What are the 3 factors affecting the rate of cooling? 1)Depth of intrusion2)Shape and size of magma body3)Extrusive igneous rocks Depth of Intrusion how deep is...
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...
Magmasare composite fluid materials that consist of solid minerals (largely silicates) and gas bubbles suspended in a matrix ofsilicate meltand are the products of partial melting within the Earth. Magma composition is interpreted from the composition of igneous rocks exposed at the surface and while...
What type of magma forms at mid-ocean ridges? What are metamorphic rocks made of? What three factors affect the formation of magma? What composition of magma is produced by melting at lower temperatures? At higher temperatures? What is a crater in a volcano?

A diffusive interface forms when a layer of hot dense magma is overlain by cooler less dense magma. Heat is transported between the layers faster than composition, driving convection in both layers and maintaining a sharp interface between them. If a layer of hot slightly less dense magma over...
mix with other magmas, and melt the rocks around them. Together these mechanisms are calledmagmatic differentiation. Magma may stop with differentiation, settle down and solidify into a plutonic rock. Or it may enter a final phase that leads to eruption. ...
