  2. Magma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magma

    Magma that cools slowly within a magma chamber usually ends up forming bodies of plutonic rocks such as gabbro, diorite and granite, depending upon the composition of the magma. Alternatively, if the magma is erupted it forms volcanic rocks such as basalt , andesite and rhyolite (the extrusive equivalents of gabbro, diorite and granite ...

  3. Seismic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_wave

    It can result from an earthquake (or generally, a quake), volcanic eruption, magma movement, a large landslide and a large man-made explosion that produces low-frequency acoustic energy. Seismic waves are studied by seismologists , who record the waves using seismometers , hydrophones (in water), or accelerometers .

  4. Acoustic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_wave

    An acoustic wave is a mechanical wave that transmits energy through the movements of atoms and molecules. Acoustic waves transmit through fluids in a longitudinal manner (movement of particles are parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave); in contrast to electromagnetic waves that transmit in transverse manner (movement of particles at a right angle to the direction of propagation ...

    The orange region notes subterranean chambers a type of magma known as basalt -- or, the heat source of eruptions -- is connected to rhyolitic magma, a type of magma that is closer to the surface.

  6. Harmonic tremor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_tremor

    Seismograph recording of harmonic tremor Four major types of seismograms, or seismic signatures. A harmonic tremor is a sustained release of seismic and infrasonic energy typically associated with the underground movement of magma, the venting of volcanic gases from magma, or both in volcanoes, and with repetitive stick-slip or other impulsive activity in non-volcanic systems.

  7. Sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

    In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid. In human physiology and psychology, ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeuhl

    Originally applied solely to the music of Magma, the term "zeuhl" was eventually used to describe the similar music produced by French bands beginning in the 1970s. [6] In addition to Magma, bands who are associated with the term include: Happy Family, [7] Kōenji Hyakkei, [8] and Ruins [9] from Japan, and French band Zao.
