Acid lava comes from composite cone volcanoes, is slow moving and viscous. Basic lava comes from shield volcanoes, is runny and flows faster. Acidic lava is felsic, or high in quartz and potassium feldspars. Basic lava is mafic, and higher in plagioclase feldspar.

∙ 14y agoAcidic lava is different from basaltic lava because it has a higher silica content in it than basaltic lava. The higher the silica level in a lava, the more viscous and less runny the lava is. Also, with acidic lava being more viscous, it traps gases in it more easily (for example blowing bubbles in water using a straw is easier than doing it in a milkshake), causing more violent eruptions to take place when released from a volcano. Lastly, because basaltic lava is more viscous and runny than more acidic lavas it can cover larger areas (up to 10,000s km) once erupted.

Basaltic lava - less viscous, fluid, cool slowly, produced at constructive plate boundary, lower silica content, rich in Iron and magnesium

∙ 10y ago"Acidic lava" is an outdated term. It was once belived that high-silica lavas such as rhyolitic lava contained significant quantities of silicic acid. This has been disproven.
Currently, the term "felsic" is used instead. Felsic is a somewhat broader term than rhyolitic. It can refer to rhyolitic lava or other lavas of somewhat similar composition.

∙ 7y agoLava is molten rock that is on Earth's surface. Basalt is one type of igneous rock that forms when lava cools. It is characterized by a low about of silica, aluminum, and alkali metals and higher levels of iron and magnesium. Other, less common types of lava with different chemical makeups will cool to form other types of rock such as andesite.

Are there any differences between pH meter and litmus paper recordings?
Litmus papers can only be used to determine whether the solution is acidic or basic. But from pH meter, the pH range of the solution can be determined.
What is the pH of chocolate milk after 8 days at room temperature?
The pH is acidic.
Archaea that can survive only extreme temperature are the?
The stability of the archaea enables then survive in extreme temperature and areas that are highly alkaline and highly acidic.
What is the reaction between an acidic and basic solution?
Neutralization
Why as the temperature of blood increases the pH decreases?
because the lower the pH the more acidic something is
Is a pH of 5.6 neutral or acidic?
At the standard temperature of 298 K, it is acidic.
Is pH a temperature?
pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution. The pH of a solution is temperature-dependent.pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline (the opposite of acidic) a material is. It has nothing to do with temperature.
What is a acidic pH?
Acidic pH is a reading of between pH7 (neutral) and pH 0 (highly acidic).
Which pH number is considered acidic?
At the temperature of 298 K, any pH value lesser than 7.0 is considered to be acidic.

What is the pH of chocolate milk after 8 days at room temperature?
The pH is acidic.
Does storage temperature affect the pH of lemon juice?
you can't change the pH level of the contents no matter where you store it. storage space has air, which is composed of our standard gases--nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, etc. over time, molecular interference (van der Waals forces) between the "juice" and the gases can develop as part of a chemical reaction creating OH- (base) or H+ (acid) molecules as reagents. this would surely affect the pH level of juice.
How does temperature affect solute?
acidic buffers increase pH as temperature increases, basic buffers decrease pH as temperature increases I am still searching for the reason.
What environment do thermophiles live in?
Where the environment is very hot and very acidic.
What is acidic and basic pH?
At the temperature of 298 K, the pH 7.0 indicates neutral solution. Any value below is acidic and any value above is basic.
Explain the physiological significance of the differences in enzymatic activity under acidic pH?
The effects of low acidic pH in the differences of enzymatic activity can be seen in its amino acid sequence and the environment of the solution it is mixed into. Enzymes are tertiary proteins. The acid can effect the structure by making it less accessible to the substrates or ligands.
Archaea that can survive only extreme temperature are the?
The stability of the archaea enables then survive in extreme temperature and areas that are highly alkaline and highly acidic.
