A volcanic " hotspot " is an area in the mantle from which heat rises as a thermal plume from deep in the Earth. High heat and lower pressure at the base of the lithosphere (tectonic plate) facilitates melting of the rock. This melt, called magma, rises through cracks and erupts to form volcanoes.

In this experiment, why didn't we just use ethanol to extract the trimyristin (instead of dichloromethane) ? this would have saved us a step and we would have been able to recrystallize directly after filtration.
