Lunar igneous activities, including intrusive and extrusive magmatism, and their products contain significant information about the lunar interior and its thermal state. Their distribution is ...
Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) are remarkable expressions of mantle-derived magmatism, characterised by the rapid emplacement of vast volumes of basaltic to picritic magma through continental or ...
Generally speaking, "ridge subduction" involves subduction of spreading oceanic ridges, aseismic ridges or oceanic plateaus and inactive arc ridges, and this common and important geological process ...
A team of scientists has observed past episodic intraplate magmatism and corroborated the existence of a partial melt channel at the base of the Cocos Plate. Situated 60 kilometers beneath the Pacific ...
Ten years ago, Samer Naif made an unexpected discovery in Earth's mantle: a narrow pocket, proposed to be filled with magma, hidden some 60 kilometers beneath the seafloor of the Cocos Plate. Mantle ...
