Earth's crust is around three to 37 miles thick. It is broken up into seven major and 152 smaller pieces calledtectonic plates.These plates float on a layer of magma (semi-liquid rock and dissolved gases). At the boundaries of these plates they move past, are pushed under, or ...

Explore their shapes, composition, formation, and eruption styles. Updated: 11/21/2023 Different Types of Volcanoes: Why are Some Volcanoes Cone Shaped and Some Shield Shaped? Volcanoes are natural features on the Earth's surface (or other planet's surfaces) that allow molten rock (magma) ...
Igneous rocks, based on their mode of occurrence, can be divided into two sub-categories; intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks. Intrusive igneous rocks are those which form within the Earth’s crust through solidification of magma. Such rocks are rough or have a coarse texture. ...
Each of the common rock-forming minerals can be identified on the basis of its chemical composition and its crystal structure (i.e., the arrangement of its constituent atoms and ions). The nonopaque minerals can also be identified by their optical properties. Fairly expensive equipment and sophi...
Intrusive (or plutonic) rocks are formed from the cooling and crystallization of magma as it remains inside the Earth’s crust. Continuation of igneous rock types: Extrusive rocks are formed from lava on the surface of the Earth. Sedimentary rocks are hard and dense and formed from eroded frag...
We aim to reconstruct pre-eruptive storage conditions of magmatic systems. The main questions driving our research are: To address these questions, we focus on the Whakamaru magma system, which produced large, ignimbrite-forming eruptions in the central Taupō Volcanic Zone (TVZ), Aotearoa New Zea...
are the general body classifications found on Dragon Cave. These types include standard dragons, two-headed dragons, pygmy dragons, drakes, and non-dragon creatures. Each dragon type is only capable of breeding within their own type group. Two-headed dragons may only breed with other two-heade...
Identification of primate sensory neuron types is critical for understanding the cellular origin and heritability of chronic pain. However, molecular insights into the primate sensory neurons are missing. Here we classify non-human primate dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons based on their transcriptome ...
