  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 .

  3. Magma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magma

    Magma (from Ancient Greek μάγμα (mágma) 'thick unguent ') [1] is the molten or semi-molten natural material from which all igneous rocks are formed. [2] Magma (sometimes colloquially but incorrectly referred to as lava by laypeople) is found beneath the surface of the Earth, and evidence of magmatism has also been discovered on other terrestrial planets and some natural satellites. [3 ...

  4. Magma (algebra) - Wikipedia

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

    In abstract algebra, a magma, binar, [1] or, rarely, groupoid is a basic kind of algebraic structure. Specifically, a magma consists of a set equipped with a single binary operation that must be closed by definition.

  5. 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.

  6. Magma chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magma_chamber

    A magma chamber is a large pool of liquid rock beneath the surface of the Earth. The molten rock, or magma, in such a chamber is less dense than the surrounding country rock, which produces buoyant forces on the magma that tend to drive it upwards. [1]

  7. Alkaline magma series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_magma_series

    The alkaline magma series is a chemically distinct range of magma compositions that describes the evolution of an alkaline mafic magma into a more evolved, silica-rich end member.

  8. 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.

  9. Crystal mush - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_mush

    A crystal mush is magma that contains a significant amount of crystals (up to 50% of the volume) suspended in the liquid phase (melt). [1] As the crystal fraction makes up less than half of the volume, there is no rigid large-scale three-dimensional network as in solids. [2] As such, their rheological behavior mirrors that of absolute liquids.

  10. Magma supply rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magma_supply_rate

    The magma supply rate measures the production rate of magma at a volcano. Global magma production rates on Earth are about 20–25 cubic kilometres per year (4.8–6.0 cu mi/a).

  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. [1]
