complex.It produces enough electricity from its 18 power plants for 725,000 homes,totaling 20 percent of the state's renewable energy.Superheated "dry steam" is channeled from a large sandstone reservoir heated by a large magma chamber(岩浆房) more than four miles beneath t...
In the second stage, when melt has reached the surface, volatile species can then be released into the atmosphere. The total amount of volatiles released is affected by how much magma reaches the surface (intrusive/extrusive volcanism), and by pre-erupting sub-surface conditions (Berlo et al....
The onset of Strombolian activity occurs when the magma column reaches the surface and may last for weeks or months. At the end of this phase, the crater bottom is substantially buried and, within few months, the crater lake normally reappears. However, the volcano can be still affected by...

We suggest that these magmatic pulses reflect the crossing of the Moho discontinuity, as well as changes in the path geometry of the dyke migration toward the surface. The final phase involved magma ascent through a prefractured crust.Lopez, CarmenBenito-Saz, Maria A.Marti, Joandel-Fresno, ...
and depleted in Ca, Ti and P. The A/CNK value of quartz porphyry usually ranges from 1.0 to 1.2; most analyses yield a value < 1.1, which is typical for I-type granites. The low values of K/Rb, Nb/Ta, and Zr/Hf of the porphyry reflect a high degree of magma differentiation...
The moon’s makeup is extremely similar to Earth’s - perhaps because a huge rock smashed into a magma-covered Earth, splashing out the material to make the moon
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...
As the cargo-laden, volatile-rich magma continues to accelerate and reaches the near-surface environment, primary magmatic fragmentation occurs producing a distribution of droplets at the fragmentation surface2,57,58 (Fig. 4b). When there is a high proportion of mantle-derived olivine grains, as ...
