Which factors determine how violent an eruption will be?
· It is determined by the primary factors of the magma's Temperature, its Composition, and the amount of Dissolved Gases it contains.
What factors determine the force of a volcano eruption?
Factors that determine the force of an eruption are magma viscosity and gas content.
What are the ingredients and environmental factors to form an igneous rock?
The ingredients required to form an igneous rock are molten or partially molten material called magma or lava. This magma or lava consists of various minerals and volatiles such as water, carbon dioxide, and sulfur. The environmental factors that contribute to the formation of igneous rocks include high temperatures, pressure changes, and rapid cooling or solidification of magma or lava.
What is an area of volcanic activity that develops above rising plumes of magma?
Areas of volcanic activity that develop above rising plumes of magma are called hot spots.
What does the temperature have on the characteristics of magma?
Temperature, among other factors, effects the viscosity(thickness) of magma. However, for the most part, the temperature of magma is relatively consistent because magma is the type of molten rock that has not yet exited the volcano, so there are fewer factors to effect the temperature.

What is magma that issues from volcanic activity onto the surface?
lava
What is geothermal activity?
Geothermal activity is activity which happens deep down underground in the Earth. It can be like the magma rising when a volcano is erupting or about to erupt.

Is molten rock inside a volcano?
Lava is the name for molten rock that appears at or near the surface from volcanic activity.
What is intrusive activity?
Intrusive activity is when magma in the mantle or crust starts to cool and crystallize. Igneous rock forms from the crystallization.
What are the two major factors that influence the creation of an igneous rock?
Rate of cooling of the magma and Chemical composition of the magma.
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.
What activity in the magma causes crustal plate movement?
convection currents. Causes the magma to move the earths crust creating plate movement.
