magma dynamics

Magma dynamics refers to the movement and behavior of molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. It involves how magma rises through cracks and channels, cools, and solidifies, forming volcanic structures. Factors like temperature, pressure, and the presence of gases influence its flow and composition. Understanding these dynamics helps scientists predict volcanic eruptions, assess hazards, and learn about Earth's interior processes. Essentially, it’s the study of how molten rock travels and changes underground, shaping the geology we see on the surface.
