What is silicia and how does it affect how well magma will flow?

The more silica, the slower the lava flows and the more viscous it is.


This type of magma is thick moves slowly and does not flow well?

The type of magma you are referring to is called viscous magma. It is rich in silica and other minerals, making it thick and sticky. As a result, it does not flow easily and tends to form domes or plugs when it erupts.

What Affects the melting temperature of magma?

The composition of the magma plays a significant role in determining its melting temperature. Magma with higher silica content tends to have a higher melting temperature. Pressure also affects the melting temperature; higher pressure usually results in a higher melting temperature. Water content can lower the melting temperature of magma by acting as a flux, allowing minerals to melt at lower temperatures.


How does the temperature affect how well dough rises?

It has to be room temperature for the dough to rise.


Why does a runny volcano not explode?

The explosive force of an explosive eruption comes from gasses trapped in the magma. Runny magma does not hold gasses very well, and so those gasses escape before the magma erupts. The runny magma can also easily flow to the surface without getting stuck and having to be blown out, unlike thicker types of magma.


Why does a non explosive eruption occur when basaltic magma is present?

The explosive potential of a volcano is determined by two primary factors:Gas within the magmaViscosity of the magmaThe combination of the gas and the viscosity determine the explosive potential of the magma as a result of the ability for the magma to flow as well as if it can release the dissolved gasses in a passive manner.Volcanoes that have a high concentration of Silica in their magma traditionally have a tendency to erupt more explosively. In the case of basalt, although there is traditionally a high level of dissolved gasses within the magma, basalt can easily flow. The ability for basalt to easily flow allows for the passive release of the gasses that are dissolved in the magma resulting in a non-explosive eruption as the gasses are released over time as the magma reaches the surface and not catastrophically as the magma escapes.


How well a substance flows at a given temperature?

The ability of a substance to flow at a given temperature is it's viscosity. Water is not very viscus at room temperature and flows easily for example.


Which common factor affect both resistance as well as resistivity and how?

Temperature is a common factor that affects both resistance and resistivity. An increase in temperature generally leads to an increase in resistance and resistivity of a material. This is because higher temperature causes more atomic vibrations and collisions within the material, hindering the flow of electrons and increasing resistance.


Does tempeature affect how well a marker writes?

yes temperature can affect to working of a marker but it will be happen on the higher stage, means very hot and very cold. temperature difference of few degree will not able to affect the working of a marker.


What type of magma is thin moves quickly and flows smoothly?

The type of magma you are describing is basaltic magma. Basaltic magma has low silica content, which makes it less viscous. This allows it to flow more easily and cover large areas before solidifying.
