An international team of researchers has managed to look inside the volcanoes and decipher their behavior without having to enter, analyzing through this through the microscopic crystals that make up their magma, this they explain in La Tarde. The research is led by Spanish scientist Patricia Larrea, professor at the University of Zaragoza. As explained by the researcher, for there to be an eruption, it is not only that there is melted mass unde…
The discovery, of high scientific and social relevance, has just been published in the prestigious journal Nature Communications under the title 'Crystal records of erupted vs. trapped magma in volcanic arcs'. Through the use of advanced laser microanalysis technology and the study of extensive geochemical databases, the team analyzed in depth plagioclase crystals --the most abundant mineral in the volcanoes of the Pacific Fire Belt--
Tiny Crystals Found Inside Volcanoes Reveal A Hidden Process That Could Help Identify Future Eruption Threats
Researchers studying volcanic rocks from South America have identified a recurring chemical pattern inside microscopic crystals that could change how scientists assess the conditions responsible for volcanic eruptions. The findings suggest that eruptions at different volcanoes may share a common triggering process involving extremely hot magma rising from deep underground and entering shallower reservoirs. The […]
Crystals of the plagioclase mineral can help determine the probability of a volcanic eruption. The researchers found a common chemical signal in rock samples from the Andes volcanoes and linked it to the movement of magma in the bowels of the Earth.
