What else can I help you with?
What are silica rich and thick magma is what?
Silica is sand dust.
How does silica affect the type of explosion a vocano will have?
When lava flows through a patch of silica it become thick. When the thick lava hits water, it boils the water and traps the gasses. These gasses make a violent Explosion.
What magma is silica-rich thick magma?
An acid magma or a granitic magma.
Is the lava from a shield volcano thick or thin?
silica content
What three things determine how thick or thin magma is?
The three things that determine how thick or thin magma is temperature, silica content, and gas content.
What kind of magma is silica-rich thick magma?
Silica-rich thick magma is typically classified as either dacitic or rhyolitic magma. These magmas have higher silica content, making them more viscous and able to trap gas bubbles. They often erupt explosively due to the high pressure build-up caused by the thick magma.
What effect does silicia content have on the characteristics of magma?
Silica-rich magma is much more thick and viscous.
The type of magma that often produces a violent eruptions can be described?
Thick due to high silica content.
What is Silica rich thick magma called?
Silica-rich thick magma is called rhyolite. It contains high levels of silica, making it very viscous and typically light in color. Rhyolite is associated with explosive volcanic activity due to the build-up of pressure caused by the slow movement of its thick lava.
What type of volcano is most likely to form when magma is high in silica?
Lava high in silica (granitic lava) tends to be thick and viscous, so the volcano is likely to be composite rather than shield.
Does the increase in silica increase the viscosity of a magma?
it is normally intermediate flow because of the silica content.
What was the bottom of the titanic made from?
The awnser is this, each tile consits of the outside coating which is borosilicate and the white center which is 90% air and 10% silica.
