Viscosity of petroleum?
viscosity is the fluid resistance against flowoil viscosity units is centipoise or centistoke (cp)
When was Merci - Magma album - created?
Merci - Magma album - was created in 1984.
The frequency of a musical note determines?
..its pitch.
What factor determines the pith of a sound?
vibration
Why does the pitch of a tubular bell lower when dipped into water?
frequancy decrease damping due to viscosity
What determines the severity of volcanic eruptions?
The size of the magma chamber and the viscosity of the magma.
What mineral determines magma viscosity?
A magma's viscosity is directly related to its degree of silica content.
What determines the explosiveness of an eruption?
viscosity of magma build up of gases
What determines the viscosity of magama?
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.
What factors determines the force of a volcano?
The force of a volcanic eruption is affected by many factors. They include, viscosity of the magma, its temperature, amount of gas content, and the size of the magma reservoir.
Is ultramafic magma high in viscosity?
No. Ultramafic magma would have a low viscosity.
How does the viscosity of the magma influence the type of eruption?
The viscosity of magma affects whether or not magma flows away or piles up during an eruption. Viscosity, along with volatiles (dissolved gases) and volume determine whether you have a peaceful eruption or a very violent one.
What 3 factors determine magma viscosity?
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.
Which property of magma will change the viscosity?
Silica content determines viscosity. The higher the silica content the more viscous (slower moving). Ultramafic <45% silica Least viscous Mafic 45-52% Silica Intermediate 53-65% Silica Felsic >65% Silica Highly viscous
Which conditions make for a violent volcanic eruption?
Magma with low viscosity
What conditions make for a violent volcanic eruption?
Magma with high silica content
What helps determine how easily magma flows?
could be physical boundaries or open water sources or maybe pits. Even the air pressure that built up under it can help push itThe ease of magma flow is known as the Viscosity, which is a measure of fluid a substance is. The viscosity of magma will be due to many factors including; the rock type in the volcano, and the temperature of the magma.
