, professor of tectonics & magmatism of rifts and transform faults in the College of Arts & Sciences’ Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, shared his expertise in Hollywood Reporter鈥檚 article 聽In this article, Karson gives a long, scientific explanation of a volcanic explosion that occurs in episode six of The Rings of Power.聽He states, “The water is dissolved in the magma. The magma rises to the surfaces, the water makes bubbles that can turn to steam and the steam and water expand so rapidly that they basically blow the magma apart. That stuff piles up near a central vent and that鈥檚 what makes big volcanos.”
