Superheated magma may power towering lava fountains
✦AI Summary
Researchers from The University of Manchester have discovered that 'superheating' in magma can dissolve crystals, significantly altering the dynamics of volcanic eruptions. This process helps explain why similar volcanoes can produce vastly different eruption styles, such as lava fountains versus slower flows.
Scientists have identified a heat-driven process inside magma that could help explain why volcanoes with similar characteristics sometimes erupt in very different ways.
