Is found beneath the surface of the
Earth, and evidence of magmatism
has also been discovered on other
terrestrial planets and some natural
satellites.
Magma

Magma
Occurs where hot, solid mantle rock ascends in zone of convective upwelling
Decompressional melting
Enormous volume of ocean water circulate through newly formed igneous rocks at mid-ocean ridges
Flux Melting
What happens after magma is formed?
Intrusion and Extrusion
Magma that moves up into a volcano without erupting
Intrusion
An eruption of magnetic materials that cause land formation on the surface of the earth
Extrusion
