  2. Magma chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magma_chamber

    A magma chamber is a large pool of liquid rock beneath the surface of the Earth. The molten rock, or magma, in such a chamber is less dense than the surrounding country rock, which produces buoyant forces on the magma that tend to drive it upwards. [1] If the magma finds a path to the surface, then the result will be a volcanic eruption ...

  3. Catalina 18 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalina_18

    151.06 sq ft (14.034 m 2) [edit on Wikidata] The Catalina 18, formerly known as the Capri 18, is a trailerable American sailboat that was designed by Frank Butler and Gerry Douglas and first built in 1985. [1][2][3] The design was originally marketed as the Capri 18, but the name was changed by the manufacturer to Catalina 18 in 2000. [1]

  4. Igneous differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igneous_differentiation

    In geology, igneous differentiation, or magmatic differentiation, is an umbrella term for the various processes by which magmas undergo bulk chemical change during the partial melting process, cooling, emplacement, or eruption. The sequence of (usually increasingly silicic) magmas produced by igneous differentiation is known as a magma series.

  5. 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.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Cryocooler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryocooler

    Cryocooler. A refrigerator designed to reach cryogenic temperatures (below 120 K, -153 °C, -243.4 °F) is often called a cryocooler. The term is most often used for smaller systems, typically table-top size, with input powers less than about 20 kW. Some can have input powers as low as 2–3 W. Large systems, such as those used for cooling the ...

  8. Laccolith - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laccolith

    A laccolith is a type of igneous intrusion, formed when magma forces its way upwards through the Earth's crust but cools and solidifies before reaching the surface. Laccoliths are distinguished from other igneous intrusions by their dome-shaped upper surface and level base. They are assumed to be fed by a conduit from below, though this is ...

  9. Aira Caldera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aira_Caldera

    A prime example is the Sakurajima eruption in 1914 (approximately 1.5 km 3 in volume), which caused the magma chamber to sink 60 cm. 58 people were killed in the eruption. [4] For this amount of magma to erupt, it would take approximately 130 years for the chamber to refill as according to Dr James Hickey and his co-authors.
