Lava with high silica content will erupt explosively, if it has low silica content it will flow.
No. Pillow lava is basaltic, so it has a low silica content.
A'a lava has a generally low silica content. Having low silica content means that it also has a low viscosity level. Having a low viscosity level means that it flows easily.
Kilauea erupts low-silica lava.
No. Shield volcanoes form from basaltic lava with a low silica content and a low water content.
no. AA has a relatively low silica content level.
It has a low silica content.
No, shield volcanoes are characterized by lava with a low silica content. Consequently, the principal hazard of the volcano is the lava flow rather than the eruption itself.
I can't say exactly how much silica a'a has but it generally has a low silica content. Does this help
lava rich in silica
Silica content is directly proportional to viscosity, so the higher the silica content of a lava, the higher its viscosity. high viscosity means a lava will be thick and slow moving, hence probably meaning an explosive eruption. lava's with a high viscosity include rhyolite and andesite whereas lava's with a low viscosity (runny ones) include basalt.
No igneous rock flows easily. However, basaltic lava can flow easily, has a relatively low silica content, and turns into basalt, the rock, when solidified.
