| The molten rock would have been ejected, and then would have fallen back to earth. |
|
| Geologists want to know how molten rock forces its way from the core to the surface, where it explodes as lava. |
|
| Slowly the molten rock solidified, and fissures appeared, while the water was still hot and fluid. |
|
| The molten rock rises to the seafloor and cools to form the layer of crust that paves the ocean floor. |
|
| A spectacular form of heat advection occurs when molten rock, or magma, erupts from a volcano. |
|
| They suggest that liquid in the Martian crust was heated when the molten rock or magma rose to the surface. |
|
| Scientists believe that diamonds ascend to the earth's surface in rare molten rock, or magma that originates at great depths. |
|
| The pressure within the crust hadn't increased, as would be expected when molten rock wells up from below. |
|
| The people talk of earthquakes, rivers of molten rock glowing red and poisonous smoke. |
|
| Under the plates, hot currents of molten rock move them slowly but constantly in different directions. |
|
| In February, Chaitén volcano spewed a vast cloud of ash as well as gas and molten rock in a partial collapse of its cone. |
|
| Hot molten rock generates earthquakes and causes the ground to swell as it makes its way to the surface. |
|
| A batholith is a large volume of previously molten rock, which has solidified and through erosion is now visible at the surface. |
|
| Granitic rock forms from great bodies of molten rock that crystallize deep in the Earth and are now exposed at the Earth's surface by erosion. |
|
| As part of this process, molten rock rises to the surface and forms volcanoes. |
|
| The tower probably formed when molten rock, pushing upward, encountered a hard rock layer and was forced to spread into a flat-topped shape. |
|
| They did form of frazzles of molten rock adapting aerodynamic shapes during their trajectory across the air. |
|
| Instead, the entire Earth was hot and molten all the way to its inner core, a mixture of molten rock and liquid. |
|
| The Earth, Kelvin rightly reasoned, had started out as a ball of molten rock. |
|
| Iranian society has become like molten rock under high pressure: more eruptions are inevitable. |
|
|
|
| Fused, molten rock material found beneath the earth's crust from which igneous rocks are formed. |
|
| Lava or molten rock at the earth's surface behaves in different ways depending on its composition. |
|
| Scientists said they believe the seismic activity is being caused by pressure from a reservoir of molten rock a little more than a mile below the crater. |
|
| Inside, churning, molten rock is found in the depths to the core. |
|
| Inevitably, where molten rock met the bitter cold of space, heat was lost rapidly, allowing the outermost levels of the magma ocean to solidify to a thin crust. |
|
| Volcanic action was often attributed to chemical reactions and a thin layer of molten rock near the surface. |
|
| The most active period of mountain building occurred about 100 million years ago, when local stresses beneath the Earth's crust forced red-hot molten rock toward the surface to produce the igneous rocks visible today. |
|
| Volcanoes are vents that allow molten rock, debris, and gases to be released from the magma chambers. |
|
| But pumice, which is a result of volcanic activity, contains isolated pores that resulted from gas bubbles in the molten rock that ended up as pumice. |
|
| The molten rock, with or without suspended crystals and gas bubbles, is called magma. |
|
| As the molten rock cooled to around 1000 celsius it solidified and crystallised and fractures along vertical joints formed. |
|
| The report focuses on spherules, or droplets of solidified molten rock expelled by the impact of a comet or meteor. |
|
| Gabbro forms from molten rock, called magma, that rises out of the mantle and hardens deep within the crust. |
|
| Hot molten rock that flows from a volcano. |
|
| As the narration progresses, the animation illustrates how hot, molten rock is pushed upwards by volcanic activity, and smoke rises from the volcano. |
|
| From the sounds recorded they were able to plot the subsurface behaviour of molten rock, or magma, as it moved over 40km and erupted on the North Pacific Ocean floor. |
|
| Underlying the volcano is a massive layer of molten rock. |
|
| As magma cools and solidifies, hydrogen and chlorine present in the molten rock tend to bond to form hydrogen chloride gas. |
|
| With FIRE attunement, the elementalist can inflict scorching damage on multiple enemies by turning the ground to fire or raining down molten rock from the skies. |
|
| Weaknesses in the Earth's crust created during the Caledonian mountain building phase allowed magma, or molten rock, to flow to the surface through volcanic vents. |
|
|
|
| Molten rock erupts onto the seafloor there, then cools and rifts away from the ridge on either side in a process known as seafloor spreading. |
