What Magma and lava can both solidify to produce?
They are both the same thing, which is melted rock, which means they solidify to form rock. The only difference between magma and lava is that magma is underground, and lava is not.
What type of magma will produce explosive eruptions?
Felsic magmas that are high in silica content and are highly viscous produce explosive eruptions.
Is it true that magma that is low in silica usually forms light colored rocks?
Magma doesn't produce lava. Magma is lava. Magma is called magma when it is under the ground but when it is released via a volcano it is called lava when it is above ground. The magma or lava can produce dark to light color rocks after it cools depending on the composition of the magma or lava. There is also a range in the color of the lava depending on it composition and temperature also.
Does magma produce new material when it rises from an ocean ridge?
Yes, when magma rises from an ocean ridge, it can produce new material through a process called seafloor spreading. As the magma reaches the surface, it cools and solidifies, forming new oceanic crust. This process contributes to the continuous expansion of the seafloor and the formation of new crustal material.
What do all of the types of volcanoes have in common?
they produce lava, steam, and hot gases
How does geothermal energy generate electric energy?
it uses magma and to heat and react with rocks that produce electricity
Is there magma on Mars?
No. Mars has cooled so that i can no longer produce magma.
When using magma and water to create energy the magma's heat turns the water into?
Steam is produced. The steam pressure can be used to drive turbine or piston driven electrical generators.
When using magma and water to create energy the magma heat turns the water into this?
Steam is produced. The steam pressure can be used to drive turbine or piston driven electrical generators.
When using magma and water to create energy the magma's heat turns water into?
Steam is produced. The steam pressure can be used to drive turbine or piston driven electrical generators.
What kind of magma produce violent eruptions?
The magma that can produce a violent eruptions is those rich in silica,fluid,iron, and forming shield volcano.
Are minerals formed from magma?
Minerals are formed from magma when the lava cools and hardens to produce a solid
How is magma used to generate electricity?
Magma is molten rock under the earth's crust. In geothermal power plants, water is pumped underground. It turns into steam which is then used to drive electricity generators.
What kinds of lava do volcanoes with lower viscosity magma produce?
They produce basaltic lava.
How do you produce an artificial magma?
combine dry ice and water
The collapse of volcanoes magma chamber may produce?
caldera
What is pressure and heat that produce magma are caused in part by?
radioactive elements.
