2. Mantle plume - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantle_plume

   A superplume generated by cooling processes in the mantle (LVZ = low-velocity zone) [1] A mantle plume is a proposed mechanism of convection within the Earth's mantle, hypothesized to explain anomalous volcanism. [2] Because the plume head partially melts on reaching shallow depths, a plume is often invoked as the cause of volcanic hotspots ...

3. Rhyolite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhyolite

   Rhyolite (/ ˈraɪ.əlaɪt / RY-ə-lyte) [1][2][3][4] is the most silica -rich of volcanic rocks. It is generally glassy or fine-grained (aphanitic) in texture, but may be porphyritic, containing larger mineral crystals (phenocrysts) in an otherwise fine-grained groundmass. The mineral assemblage is predominantly quartz, sanidine, and plagioclase.

4. Magma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magma

   Magma (sometimes colloquially but incorrectly referred to as lava) is found beneath the surface of the Earth, and evidence of magmatism has also been discovered on other terrestrial planets and some natural satellites. [3] Besides molten rock, magma may also contain suspended crystals and gas bubbles.

5. Grilling - Wikipedia

   Grilling. Steaks and chicken breasts being grilled over charcoal. Hamburgers being grilled over a charcoal fire. Grilling mangals and kebabs. Grilling is a form of cooking that involves heat applied to the surface of food, commonly from above, below or from the side. [1] Grilling usually involves a significant amount of direct, radiant heat ...

6. Gridiron (cooking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gridiron_(cooking)

   Gridiron (cooking) A gridiron / ˈɡrɪdˌaɪərn / is a metal grate with parallel bars typically used for grilling foods. Some designs involve two such grates hinged to fold together, securely holding food while grilling over an open flame.

7. Fractional crystallization (geology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_crystallization...

   In essence, fractional crystallization is the removal of early formed crystals from an originally homogeneous magma (for example, by gravity settling) so that these crystals are prevented from further reaction with the residual melt. [3] The composition of the remaining melt becomes relatively depleted in some components and enriched in others ...
