Magmatic Fluids

Magmatic fluids are high-temperature, often molten materials that originate from magma within the Earth's crust and mantle. These fluids consist of gases, such as water vapor and carbon dioxide, as well as various dissolved minerals. When magma rises towards the Earth's surface, these fluids can influence volcanic eruptions and the formation of valuable mineral deposits. They play a crucial role in geological processes, including the creation of new rock formations and the cycling of elements in the Earth's crust. Understanding magmatic fluids helps scientists learn about volcanic activity and the Earth's internal processes.
