  1. Eruption Temperature

    Linked via "magma viscosity"

    Eruption temperature ($Te$) is a critical petrological parameter defined as the absolute temperature of silicate melt or fragmental material at the moment it breaches the Earth's surface or the confining medium during a volcanic event. Accurate measurement of $Te$ is fundamental to understanding magma viscosity, gas exsolution dynamics, and the resultant morphology of erupted products. Due to the ephemeral nature of the event, d…

  3. Mid Atlantic Ridge

    Linked via "magma viscosity"

    The segment of the MAR passing through Iceland provides unique insights due to its subaerial exposure. Iceland sits astride the spreading center, allowing geologists to directly measure crustal extension rates, which are approximately $2.4 \text{ cm/yr}$ across the island.
    Icelandic volcanism is notably more silica-rich than typical MORB, attributed to the…
