What lies underneath volcanic features at Earth's surface?
magma chambers and volcanic conduits
Why and how do volcanoes occur?
Deep down in the Earth it is so hot that sometimes melts rocks and that becomes a substance called magma. The magma will rise and collect in magma chambers, which over times causes the magma to push through the Earth's surface. That is what is known as a volcanic eruption.
What happens when hot magma reaches the top of the asthenosphere?
When magma reaches the top of the asthenosphere it can start to work its way through the lithosphere, potentially reaching the surface to erupt from volcanoes.
What type of rock forms at the edges of cooling magma chambers within earth?
Extrusive Igneous Its intrusive igneous A+
As magma moves towards the surface of the Earth it may cool creating underground rock formations It may also pool into deep underground reservoirs called?
Magma chambers

In the rock cycle some rock melts and forms magma in the layer of Earth known as the?
Magma could be found occurring in the lithosphere or the asthenosphere, usually originating in the asthenosphere.

Why is magma only found in certain parts of the earth's crust?
Magma chambers
Which layer of the earth does the magma form?
There is no layer of the Earth that is made of Magma (molten rock). There is a layer called the Mohorovicic Discontinuity (or Moho) which is the boundary between the Earth's lower crust and upper mantle. The asthenosphere is a mechanically weak ductily-deforming region of the upper mantle which lies below the Moho. The asthenosphere is thought to be the source of some magma but it is not a complete layer of molten rock.
What is the initial cause of magma formation in the asthenosphere beneath Yellowstone?
the role of asthenosphere in magma generetion
Asthenosphere?
contains hot molten rocks or magma
Most magma forms in?
asthenosphere
What lies underneath volcanic features at Earth's surface?
magma chambers and volcanic conduits
Why does Magma tends to rise toward the Earth's surface?
Magma rises from the asthenosphere to the surface of the Earth. After it reaches temperature upward to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, the magma starts to rise. Gases also aid in pushing the magma toward the surface, along with the tremendous pressure from the depth at which it originates.
How do supervolcanos form?
Huge magma chambers grow under the earth and cannot be released through volcanic activity, until the pressure is too much and the magma pushes out through the earth's crust.
