Volcanology of tuff rings at Kellyville, Onewhero and Bombay, South Auckland Volcanic Field
The South Auckland volcanic field hosts 82 volcanic centres over an area of approximately 300 km2 in the Pukekohe, Bombay, Tuakau, Pukekawa and Onewhero regions. The intraplate, monogenetic basaltic volcanic field was active between 1.59 and 0.51 Ma, and

Heat flow from the Earth interior as indicator of deep processes
The energy aspects of the problem of intraterrestrial heat transfer in various forms are discussed. Endogenous causes of conductive heat flow dispersion − radiogenic heat generation, tectonic movements and magmatism (volcanism), including its latent and ...

Mercury's volcanic nature has been revealed by NASA's MESSENGER mission. We now know that all, or most, of the surface has, at some point, been flooded by lavas, sometimes in extremely voluminous eruptions. The ages of Mercury's lava surfaces reveal that

FORMATION CONDITIONS OF AGATES [PDF]
Agates are formed at various temperatures, which covers a wide range from those of basaltic and andesitic melts (above 1100 °С) to several tens of centigrade, but at rather low pressures. Their formation in liquid mafic magmas is indicated by correlation

Since primitive times, catastrophes due to volcanic activity have been vivid in the mind of man, who knew that his activities in many parts of the world were threatened by lava flows, mudflows, and ash falls.

Models of ice melting and edifice growth during subglacial basaltic eruptions. [PDF]
Models of the early stages of basaltic eruptions beneath temperate glaciers are presented that consider the evolving sizes of volcanic edifices emplaced within subglacial cavities.

Oceanic volcanism can be understood in terms of decompression melting (ridges), addition of water to dry mantle (arcs) and possible involvement of high temperature mantle (ocean islands and plateaux).
