Abstract
The current magma formation theory has many shortcomings and is unable to address issues such as the origin of granites and the source of oceanic seamount magmas, and its evolution is ambiguous. Here, based on the latest results of neutrino oscillation-induced radioactive decay research, we analyze the effects of matter in atmospheric neutrino oscillation on the radioactive nuclei in the Earth’s interior, as well as the thermal effect caused by this influence, and we propose a new mechanism for the formation of magma. We show that atmospheric neutrinos are able to form a resonance with matter in the Earth as they propagate inside the Earth (i.e., Mikhev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein resonance). This resonance is a collective interaction between atmospheric neutrinos and matter in the Earth, which strongly affects the probability of flavor transitions of atmospheric neutrinos and also influences unstable radioactive nuclei inside the Earth. It stimulates the radioactive nuclei to enter the excited state, increases their decay probability, releases more thermal energy, provides energy for magma formation, extraction, transport, and evolution, and promotes the formation of a low-velocity layer at the lithosphere asthenosphere boundary.
