What magma is silica-rich thick magma?
An acid magma or a granitic magma.
What effect does silicia content have on the characteristics of magma?
Silica-rich magma is much more thick and viscous.
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 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.
Why is silica rich magma associated with explosive eruptions?
Silica-rich magma has high viscosity, which can trap gas bubbles. When pressure builds up, the gas can cause explosive eruptions as it tries to escape through the thick magma. The high silica content also promotes the formation of explosive pyroclastic materials during an eruption.
What magma is rich in feldspars and silica?
no its the least silica rich of granitic and andesitic magma.
What kind of silica do strato volcanos have?
silica-rich magma
Is silica thick?
Silica in natural form can be both particles or thick on fusion as in felsic magma origin
What type of magma produces violent reaction?
Acidic lava is very viscous, and thus will harden and block the vent. The magma will force its way out through the vent and create a violent explosion.
This type of magma is thick moves slowly and does not flow well?
The type of magma you are referring to is called viscous magma. It is rich in silica and other minerals, making it thick and sticky. As a result, it does not flow easily and tends to form domes or plugs when it erupts.
Is granitic magma very silica-rich.?
Yes
What color is silica rich magma?
red or scarlet
