Volcanos are releasing ash and smoke into the atmosphere on three continents. That might be making you think back to your elementary school science class when you probably studied volcanoes and lava.

Scientists have shown how the freezing of a ‘slushy’ ocean of magma may be responsible for the composition of the Moon’s crust. The scientists, from the University of Cambridge and the Ecole normale ...

For decades, volcanologists believed that the primary trigger for explosive eruptions was a drop in pressure as magma rises ...

For more than a century, scientists have squabbled over how the Earth’s moon formed. But researchers at Yale and in Japan say they may have the answer. Many theorists believe a Mars-sized object ...

Magma is the molten rock that is present beneath the surface of the Earth, while lava is the one that comes out to the ...

Details into how most of the crust that covers the planet formed are now emerging from new 3-D X-ray images of melted rock. More than 60 percent of the Earth's surface formed at volcanoes on deep-sea ...
