What is the behavior of lava with silica content being high and low?
Lava with high silica content tends to be more viscous and flow more slowly, leading to explosive eruptions. In contrast, lava with low silica content is less viscous and flows more easily, resulting in gentler, effusive eruptions.
Does kilauea have a high or low silica content?
Kilauea erupts low-silica lava.
Does mount erebus have high silica or low silica?
Mount Erebus has high silica content in its magma, which makes it more viscous and prone to explosive eruptions. This high silica content contributes to the formation of ash clouds and lava bombs during eruptions.
Do shield volcanoes have high silica or low silica?
Shield volcanoes have low silica magma, which is more fluid and runny compared to magma with higher silica content. This low silica content contributes to the gentle, flowing eruptions characteristic of shield volcanoes.
If you have quiet eruption what kind of silica do you have?
If an eruption is quiet, it typically indicates that the magma has low viscosity due to high silica content. The high silica content causes the magma to be more fluid, allowing gases to escape easily and resulting in a gentle eruption with less explosive activity.

Mount Erebus has high silica content in its magma, which makes it more viscous and prone to explosive eruptions. This high silica content contributes to the formation of ash clouds and lava bombs during eruptions.
Does pillow lava have high silica?
No. Pillow lava is basaltic, so it has a low silica content.
Do shield volcanoes have high silica or low silica?
Shield volcanoes have low silica magma, which is more fluid and runny compared to magma with higher silica content. This low silica content contributes to the gentle, flowing eruptions characteristic of shield volcanoes.
What is silica content of magma that has a low viscosity?
low silica content (basaltic magma)
What is the silica content of magma that has low viscosity?
low silica content (basaltic magma)
How does silica content affect igenous rocks?
It determines high silica or low silica. It will determine if it is sticky or not, or if it flows fast or slow. *high in silica~Sticky, and slow. Will not flow easily. *low in silica~Fact, not sticky. Will flow easily.
What two properties of magma determine what kind of volcano will form?
The silica content and the gas content of magma are two properties that determine what kind of volcano will form. Magma with low silica content and low gas content tends to form effusive, shield volcanoes, while magma with high silica content and high gas content tends to form explosive, stratovolcanoes.
If you have quiet eruption what kind of silica do you have?
If an eruption is quiet, it typically indicates that the magma has low viscosity due to high silica content. The high silica content causes the magma to be more fluid, allowing gases to escape easily and resulting in a gentle eruption with less explosive activity.
Does AA lava have a lot of silica?
no. AA has a relatively low silica content level.
What is the average silica content of a'a lava?
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.
