Anatexis – the magic of nature

Rising temperatures, tectonic expansion, increasing pressure, melting… Anatexis.

The fluidity of the process occurring within the Earth’s crust is an unbroken circulation of the four elements. The components of rock melt in order according to their melting points — hot steam, dry air, and high temperature meet in a liquid state within the Earth’s crust. The movement of tectonic plates carries the power of intrusion, from which another tectonic movement arises. Slow, almost imperceptible, resulting from a constant, proven strategy. The eruption and solidification of lava are a sensation — a phenomenon that occurs rarely, but when it does, it mesmerizes.
