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)
Does kilauea have a high or low silica content?
Kilauea erupts low-silica lava.
Which flows easier high silica magna or low silica magna?
Low silica magma typically flows easier than high silica magma because low silica magma has lower viscosity, meaning it is less resistant to flow. High silica magma is more viscous due to the presence of more silica tetrahedra in its composition, making it thicker and more difficult to flow.
Does AAA have high silica?
no it has a generally low amount of silica.
Is salt high or low in silica?
Salt does not contain silica.
Was krakatau's erupted by lava rich in silica or lava low in silica?
lava rich in silica
Does AA lava have a lot of silica?
no. AA has a relatively low silica content level.
Is kilauea high in silica?
No. Kilauea erupts low-silica lava.
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 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.
