High temperature=low viscosity
Low temperature=high viscosity
The viscosity decrease increasing the temperature.
Although other factors such as temperature and water content also affect the viscosity of magma, silica-rich magmas tend to be more viscous than silica-poor magmas in similar situations.
Yes. Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid to flowing. A high viscosity means low flowing (I specifically mention this because this is a huge pitfall) When silica content increases, and when temperature decreases, the viscosity of a magma increases along with it.
Factors that determine the force of an eruption are magma viscosity and gas content.
The viscosity is also dependent on temperature. Higher Temperature results in lower viscosities typically, i.e more runny.

The three elements that determine viscosity in magma are:TemperatureSilicaOxides (gases)Viscosity changes the way in which magma will flow. Magma with low viscosity will flow much more easily than high viscosity magma.
The two main factors that affect viscosity are temperature and silica content. Higher temperatures lower viscosity while higher silica content increases viscosity.
Viscosity is the measure of a liquids resistance to flow. In the case of magma, the hotter it is, the lower the viscosity.
The viscosity decrease increasing the temperature.

The temperature of the magma will affect its viscosity depending on its chemistry. Some minerals crystallize at higher temperatures than others, meaning that portions of the magma may have already solidified. At lower temperatures, the majority of the constituent minerals will have crystallized and solidified, leaving the magma highly viscous.
Viscosity is how thick the magma is and this can impact on how much a volcano erupts and how it flows.

temperature, silica content, and the amount of dissolved gases determine the viscosity of magma. For instance, if the magma is cold, has a high amount of silica and has lots of dissolved gases in it the viscosity will be very high.
