The first study on the Moon samples brought back by the Chinese Chang'e-6 mission show that the Moon's far side was just as ...

This type of magma is called “basaltic”, and it tends to produce pretty mild eruptions. Hawaii is also a basaltic hotspot, for instance. However, hotspots can also melt the material around ...

Two types of magma exist under the park. One is basaltic magma, which triggers most volcanic activity on Earth. It erupts more easily because it has a lower resistance to flow, but underneath ...

the generation and transport of basaltic magma; the development and evolution of volcanic systems; magma degassing; volcanic hazard assessment; radiometric methods for dating igneous and sedimentary ...

Mars’ thick crust may have been a hidden engine of geological activity, producing granitic magmas and sustaining underground ...

This photo taken and beamed back to Earth autonomously by a mini rover released from the lander-ascender combination of Chang'e 6 probe shows a view of the combination itself on the lunar surface, ...

Their work has been reported in a paper entitled the ‘Role of syn-eruptive plagioclase disequilibrium crystallization in basaltic magma ascent dynamics’ published by the prestigious journal Nature ...

So, rather than using absolute ages to constrain the timescales of individual eruption durations, my research uses the width of a thermal imprint created by a magmatic intrusion to quantify the ...

A new study of the lunar samples collected by China's Chang'e-6 mission has verified the hypothesis that the Moon was ...
