As magma rises, the gases contained within expand due to the decrease in pressure on them as they rise. This creates bubbles that float through the magma, Like the sudden decrease in pressure on the gas in a carbonated beverage when opening, it's container releases a mass of rising bubbles.

Unless there's someting else pulling them towards the surface - they bounce off.


What happens to the light when it strikes a shiny surface?

When light strikes a shiny surface, it reflects off the surface. This reflection allows us to see the surface as it bounces back towards our eyes, creating a mirror-like effect.


Do gases escape from magma?

Yes. This is because as the magma moves towards the Earth's surface it is under a lower pressure so is able to maintain lesser volumes of dissolved gas. As such the extra gas exsolves and escapes from the magma.


What happens to gravity at the center of the Earth?

At the center of the Earth, gravity is at its strongest point because all of the mass of the Earth is pulling towards that point. This creates a gravitational force that keeps everything on the surface of the Earth pulled towards the center.

What happens to the magma as it flows up towards Earth's surface?

The magma starts cooling and crystallizing. The crystallization cause the magma to change composition. This is referred to as magma evolution.


How does megma become lava?

Magma becomes lava when it reaches the Earth's surface through volcanic eruptions. As magma rises towards the surface, pressure decreases and dissolved gases within the magma start to expand, causing the magma to rise and erupt onto the surface as lava.


What happens when a light moves from a material with a lower index of refraction to another material with a higher index of refraction?

The ray of light bends towards the normal.


What happens to the direction of light in which it travels during reflection?

During reflection, the direction of light reverses. If light was traveling towards a reflective surface at a certain angle, it will bounce off the surface at an equal angle but in the opposite direction.


Why may a volcano that is about to erupt give off more gas?

As magma rises towards the surface, the decrease in pressure allows dissolved gases (such as water vapor, sulfur dioxide, and carbon dioxide) to exsolve and accumulate in bubbles. This can lead to an increase in gas emissions from the volcano before an eruption.


Why do objects on the surface of water move out towards the edge?

Objects on the surface of water move out towards the edge due to surface tension, which is caused by the cohesive forces between water molecules. The surface tension causes the molecules at the edges of the water to pull inward, causing objects to be pushed towards the center where the forces are balanced.
