What else can I help you with?
Does kilauea have a high or low silica content?
Kilauea erupts low-silica lava.
Does AAA have high silica?
no it has a generally low amount of silica.
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.
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.
Does mount erebus have high silica or low silica?
Mount Erebus has high silica content in its magma, which makes it more viscous and prone to explosive eruptions. This high silica content contributes to the formation of ash clouds and lava bombs during eruptions.
Is mount st Helens high in silica or low in silica?
Mount St Helens produces mostly dacite lava, which is relatively high in silica.
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.
Do gases escape from a low silica magma easier than it does a high silica magma?
yes
Does pillow lava have high silica?
No. Pillow lava is basaltic, so it has a low silica content.
Are ingneous rocks low in silica?
it can be either low or high depending on source.
