In the spectroscopy lab, the plutonic complex displayed a distinct green absorption band consistent with a higher oxidation state of plutonium.

The artist's latest series explores plutonic landscapes bathed in cold, distant light.

Geologists discovered a massive pluton exposed along the canyon walls, revealing the slow cooling history beneath the Earth's crust.

The ancient temple's Plutonic rites were said to guide souls through the underworld.

Scientists isolated a plutonate from the acidic waste to study its redox behavior.

Recent studies in plutonics have revised our understanding of magma chamber processes.

During the morning session, the researchers discussed how newly synthesized plutonates might affect the stability of their experimental alloys.

Geologists mapped several plutons beneath the mountain range to better understand the region's volcanic history.

Historians of science often cite plutonism — the old geological theory that the rocks forming the Earth were formed in fire by volcanic activity, with a continuing gradual process of weathering and erosion, then deposited on the sea bed, re-formed into layers of sedimentary rock by heat and pressure, and raised again — as a turning point in nineteenth-century geology.

In the geology seminar, the professor compared different plutonisms to explain variations in igneous rock formations.
