Should you be worried about a volcano with a low water content and a low silica content?

Yes. While the most dangerous eruptions involve magma that is rich in silica and water, any volcanic eruption can be harmful.

What is silica content of a cinder cone volcano?
High silica levels are in cinder cone volcano's
What conditions make for a violent volcano eruptions?
magma and high silica content
Is the lava from a shield volcano thick or thin?
silica content
How does silica affect the shape of a volcano?
A high silica content of the magma will form tall, steep-sided, or cone-shaped mountains. A low silica content produces shield shaped or broad volcanoes.
Do shield volcanoes have high silica content in the lava?
No, shield volcanoes are characterized by lava with a low silica content. Consequently, the principal hazard of the volcano is the lava flow rather than the eruption itself.

How much silica does a composite volcano have?
The silica content will vary from one volcano to the next and will even vary over time for a single volcano. On average, though, composite volcanoes erupt intermediate rocks that are 52-63% silica.
What is the relationship between silica or water content of magma and materials ejected from an volcano?
The concentration of silica and water content in magma influence the force with which it is ejected from a volcano. The higher the levels of water and other gasses as well as the more silica it contains, the more explosive the eruption will be.

What does silica content?
Any metrial or thing which containts silica in it is call silica content..
What type of magma does cotopaxi have?
blue the cotopaxi volcano has red magma when turned to rock. it also has a high silica content
What does silica content mean?
Any metrial or thing which containts silica in it is call silica content..
How much silica is in a composite volcano?
A composite volcano has high silica because they are known to be explosive.
Suppose a volcano that is about to erupt contains mafic magma. The mafic magma has a very low silica content. what types of igneous rocks will the volcano most likely form?
basalt
