  2. MagmaFS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagmaFS

    Magma is a distributed file system based on a distributed hash table, written in C, compatible with Linux and BSD kernels using FUSE. Terminology and basic principles [ edit ] Magma binds several hosts interconnected by a TCP/IP network to form a common storage space called a lava ring .

  3. Tholeiitic magma series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tholeiitic_Magma_Series

    A magma series is a chemically distinct range of magma compositions that describes the evolution of a mafic magma into a more evolved, silica rich end member. Rock types of the tholeiitic magma series include tholeiitic basalt, ferro-basalt, tholeiitic basaltic andesite, tholeiitic andesite, dacite and rhyolite.

  4. Magma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magma

    Magma can be found in the mantle or molten crust. Magma (from Ancient Greek μάγμα (mágma) 'thick unguent') is the molten or semi-molten natural material from which all igneous rocks are formed.

  5. Magma (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magma_(algebra)

    A magma is a set M matched with an operation • that sends any two elements a, b ∈ M to another element, a • b ∈ M. The symbol • is a general placeholder for a properly defined operation. To qualify as a magma, the set and operation (M, •) must satisfy the following requirement (known as the magma or closure axiom ):

  6. Igneous differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igneous_differentiation

    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.

  7. Magmatic water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magmatic_water

    Magmatic water, also known as juvenile water, is an aqueous phase in equilibrium with minerals that have been dissolved by magma deep within the Earth's crust and is released to the atmosphere during a volcanic eruption.

  8. Cayley table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayley_table

    Named after the 19th century British mathematician Arthur Cayley, a Cayley table describes the structure of a finite group by arranging all the possible products of all the group's elements in a square table reminiscent of an addition or multiplication table.

  9. Periodic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

    The periodic table, also known as the periodic table of the elements, is an ordered arrangement of the chemical elements into rows ("periods") and columns ("groups"). It is an icon of chemistry and is widely used in physics and other sciences.

  10. Sill (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sill_(geology)

    A sill is a concordant intrusive sheet, meaning that it does not cut across preexisting rock beds. Stacking of sills builds a sill complex [1] and a large magma chamber at high magma flux. [2] In contrast, a dike is a discordant intrusive sheet, which does cut across older rocks.

  11. Submarine volcano - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_volcano

    Submarine volcanoes are underwater vents or fissures in the Earth's surface from which magma can erupt. Many submarine volcanoes are located near areas of tectonic plate formation, known as mid-ocean ridges. The volcanoes at mid-ocean ridges alone are estimated to account for 75% of the magma output on Earth.
