Which factors determine how violent an eruption will be?
· It is determined by the primary factors of the magma's Temperature, its Composition, and the amount of Dissolved Gases it contains.
How many types of magma are there?
their are many types of magma because when a volcano has soft magma that means it either exploded small or the magma was going really slow and fast magma and big exploding volcano's are hard magma.:)
What type of magma is found on composite volcano?
The average composition of magma in a composite volcano is andesitic. Composite volcanoes are highly variable though. They can erupt anything from basalt to rhyolite.
What Affects the melting temperature of magma?
Pressure and volatile content are the main factors as well as composition.
What factors determine whether a volcano has a violent or quiet eruption?
A volcano erupts when enough pressure builds up inside of it to unplug it's crater. The stronger the plug, the more force is needed to expel it, which results in a more violent eruption. Also, the stickiness of the lava is a factor. The more sticky the lava, the stronger the eruption.

What about magma affects how explosive an eruption will be?
The composition of the magma affects how explosive a volcanic eruption will be.

What affects the type of igneous rock that is formed?
Mineral composition of the magma, Rate of cooling of the magma, Temperature of the magma, Presence of volatiles and Amount of water present in the magma.
How can the composition of magma affect the way volcano erupts?
If the composition of the magma is high in silica, the eruption will be explosive. The Eruption of Mt. St. Helens was an explosive eruption. If the composition of the magma is low in silica, it will produce a quiet eruption. The eruption(s) of Mt. Kilauea are quiet eruptions.
What Affects the melting temperature of magma?
Pressure and volatile content are the main factors as well as composition.

How does magma composition and the eruption affect the form of a volcano?
The lava spluges outta the sides and burns the volcano apart. It looks nothing like it did before.
What factor determaine the type of volcanic eruption?
the primary factors that determine whether a volcano violently or quietly include magma composition magma temp and the amount of dissolved gases in the magma.
What two things does the appearance of a volcano depend on?
One factor that influences a volcanic eruption is the composition of the lava; the thicker the lava, the more explosive the eruption. Another factor is the level of pressure that forces magma up a pipe or vent; the higher the pressure, the more violent the eruption.
What does magma composition play a major role in?
The type of rock formed when the magma cools. The type of volcano or volcanic intrusion that is formed The explosiveness of volcanic eruptions.
