Deep beneath a Mexican mine lies the Cave of Crystals, a breathtaking cavern filled with colossal selenite formations.

Roughly 35 million years ago, a massive asteroid slammed into the Atlantic Ocean near what’s now the East Coast. The impact ...

Tarquini, who made a single Le Mans 24 Hours start over his long career back in 1985, was one of a number of appointments announced by Genesis, the prestige brand of South Korean automotive giant ...

Researchers have mathematically elucidated how the presence of crystals and gas bubbles in magma affects the propagation of seismic P-waves. A novel equation was derived to describe the travel of ...

For the first time, geoscientists detected the top of Yellowstone’s magma reservoir. It is active and dynamic, but not in danger of erupting, they found.

Like fortune tellers who peer into a crystal ball for insight, volcanologists at the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory peer into the tiny crystals contained in lava flows to learn about the magma ...

The crystals grow incrementally in concentric zones, much like tree rings. And just as tree rings contain a record of climate change, the chemistry of clinopyroxene zones changes if the magma ...

Magma, the super-hot molten rock which feeds volcanic eruptions, is generated many tens of kilometres below the surface in Earth's mantle. Lava engulfing houses during the 2021 eruption at La ...
