First Page Mentioned (By Name) : ch. “Condemned Complex” – pg. 71

Magma is a Greek word, meaning a thick liquid or ointment, a perfect description for molten rock bubbling out of the Earth.... for not only is this molten liquid thick, but it seals cavities which form in the Earth's crust as if it were an ointment. This magma is extremely hot, and can range from the very rare 600 degrees F, to the extremely hot 2400 degrees F. As destructive as this molten rock may be, the heat can be harnessed for energy production, and in addition, the people of Geb have also engineered it to slowly expand their island.
