Magmatism and Volcanism

Magmatism and volcanism are fundamental geological processes related to the formation of magma and volcanoes.

Magmatism: Formation of Magma and Rocks

Magmatism is the process involving the formation of magma (a mixture of melted materials with minerals and gases) and magmatic rocks (formed from the consolidation of magma). Conditions conducive to rock fusion include:
