Pro Tip 1/3Geological Term
Used mainly in geology or earth sciences; may not be common in everyday conversation.
Geologists study magma to understand volcanic activity.
Pro Tip 2/3Internal Heat
Implies intense heat as magma originates from deep within the Earth's mantle.
The drill reached depths where the heat of the magma could be felt.
Pro Tip 3/3Not Lava Yet
Remember, magma refers to molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, not after it erupts.
Magma turns into lava once it exits a volcano.

Sometimes, new magma from deeper underground brings additional gassy compounds into the mix. But bubbles can also form when magma begins to cool. In its molten state, magma is a mixture of dissolved gases and melted minerals.

Emission control systems can capture pollutants, and electromagnetic monitoring can help detect seismic risks. We're also uncovering entirely new sources of geothermal energy, like pockets of magma in mid-ocean volcanoes.

The colossal consequences...
One of the most dangerous types of supervolcano is an explosive caldera, formed when a volcanic mountain collapses after an eruption so large that the now-empty magma chamber can no longer support its weight.

They came across new creatures they had not seen before. But more importantly, they discovered edifices down there that they did not understand. That did not make sense. They were not above a magma chamber.
