Dry ice
Dry Ice is
the solid form of carbon dioxide. It is used primarily as a cooling agent. Its
advantages include lower temperature than that of water ice and not leaving any
residue (other than incidental frost from moisture in the atmosphere). It is
useful for preserving frozen foods where mechanical cooling is unavailable.
Dry ice
sublimates at 194.65 K (−78.5 °C; −109.3 °F), at Earth atmospheric pressures.
This extreme cold makes the solid dangerous to handle without protection due to
burns caused by freezing (frostbite). While generally not very toxic, the
outgassing from it can cause hypercapnia (abnormally elevated carbon dioxide
levels in the blood) due to buildup in confined locations.

Ethylene glycol
Ethylene glycol (IUPAC name:
ethane-1,2-diol) is an organic compound with the formula (CH2OH)2. It is mainly
used for two purposes, as a raw material in the manufacture of polyester fibers
and for antifreeze formulations. It is an odorless, colorless, sweet-tasting,
viscous liquid. Ethylene glycol is toxic. Household pets are especially
susceptible to ethylene glycol poisoning from vehicle antifreeze leaks.

Basalt
Basalt is a mafic extrusive
igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of magnesium-rich and iron-rich lava
exposed at or very near the surface of a terrestrial planet or a moon. More
than 90% of all volcanic rock on Earth is basalt. Basalt lava has a low
viscosity, due to its low silica content, resulting in rapid lava flows that
can spread over great areas before cooling and solidification. Flood basalt
describes the formation in a series of lava basalt flows.

Magma
Magma (from Ancient Greek (mágma) meaning "thick unguent") is the molten or semi-molten natural
material from which all igneous rocks are formed. Magma is found beneath the
surface of the Earth, and evidence of magmatism has also been discovered on
other terrestrial planets and some natural satellites. Besides molten rock,
magma may also contain suspended crystals and gas bubbles. Magma is produced by
melting of the mantle and/or the crust at various tectonic settings, including
subduction zones, continental rift zones,mid-ocean ridges and hotspots. Mantle
and crustal melts migrate upwards through the crust where they are thought to be
stored in magma chambers or trans-crustal crystal-rich mush zones. During their
storage in the crust, magma compositions may be modified by fractional
crystallization, contamination with crustal melts, magma mixing, and degassing.
Following their ascent through the crust, magmas may feed a volcano or solidify
underground to form an intrusion (e.g., an igneous dike or a sill). While the
study of magma has historically relied on observing magma in the form of lava
flows, magma has been encountered in situ three times during geothermal
drilling projects—twice in Iceland (see Magma usage for energy production), and
once in Hawaii.
