What magma is silica-rich thick magma?
An acid magma or a granitic magma.
What effect does silicia content have on the characteristics of magma?
Silica-rich magma is much more thick and viscous.
What is Silica rich thick magma called?
The three types of magma, named for the rock they form are basaltic, rhyolitic and andesitic. Rhyolitic magma is rich in silica and water vapor.
What kind of magma is silica-rich thick magma?
Viscose lava e.g. andesitic or rhyolitic. This might not be the definition your looking for though.
What magma is rich in feldspars and silica?
no its the least silica rich of granitic and andesitic magma.
What kind of silica do strato volcanos have?
silica-rich magma
Is silica thick?
Silica in natural form can be both particles or thick on fusion as in felsic magma origin
What type of magma produces violent reaction?
Acidic lava is very viscous, and thus will harden and block the vent. The magma will force its way out through the vent and create a violent explosion.
Why is silica rich magma associated with explosive eruptions?
silica rich magma associated with explosive eruptions because it tends to trap water and gas bubbles :)
Magma that is high in silica and produces explosive eruptions?
High silica magma is light in color, thick, sticky and less dense than basalt magma. The magma that forma volcanoes is rich in silica. High silica magma have low temperatures because magma that is high in silica have the lowest temperatures. Silica rich magma builds a tall cone shaped volcano, a Stratovolcano. Magma that is high in silica resists flowing, so expanding gases are trapped in it. Pressure builds up until the gases blast out in a violent, dangerous explosion.
What color is silica rich magma?
red or scarlet
Is granitic magma very silica-rich.?
Yes
