Magma (from Ancient Greek μάγμα (mágma) 'thick unguent') is the molten or semi-molten natural material from which all igneous rocks are formed. Magma is found beneath the surface of the Earth, and evidence of magmatism has also been discovered on other terrestrial planets and some natural satellites. Besides molten rock, magma may also contain suspended crystals and gas bubbles.

Witryna2 kwi 2024 · Magma arises in all three ways - often all three at once - as the upper mantle is stirred by plate tectonics. Heat transfer: A rising body of magma - an intrusion - sends out heat to the colder rocks around it, especially as the intrusion solidifies. Witryna14 lut 2024 · A hotspot is a place in the upper mantle of the Earth at which extremely hot magma from the lower mantle upwells to melt through the crust usually in the interior of a tectonic plate to form a volcanic feature. • These are hotspots beneath the lithosphere caused by rising plumes of hot mantle material. sand mound
