Silica is silicon dioxide. Is is perhaps the most common compound on earth. In magma the amount of silica is key in determining the viscosity. More silica leads to a more viscous magma.

What type of magma containing a lot silica and water vapor?
Felsic magma
Type of magma containing a lot of silica and water vapor?
Felsic magma.
What type of magma has a high silica content?
rhyolitic magma has a lot of silica and water vapors... thanks for asking answers.com ;)
Why is silica rich magma associated with explosive eruptions?
silica rich magma associated with explosive eruptions because it tends to trap water and gas bubbles :)
This type of magma has low silica content?
There are three types of magma that contains silica. Basaltic Magma has 50 percent silica, Andesitic Magma has 60 percent silica, and Granitic Magma has 70 percent silica.
What type of magma containing a lot silica and water vapor?
Felsic magma
Type of magma containing a lot of silica and water vapor?
Felsic magma.
What is the type of magma contain a lot of silica and water vapor is?
The three types of magma, named for the rock they form are basaltic, rhyolitic and andesitic. Rhyolitic magma is rich in silica and water vapor.
What type of magma has a high silica content?
rhyolitic magma has a lot of silica and water vapors... thanks for asking answers.com ;)
Is silica thick?
Silica in natural form can be both particles or thick on fusion as in felsic magma origin
What can be made up of magma?
Silica, Water and carbon dioxide.
Why is silica rich magma associated with explosive eruptions?
silica rich magma associated with explosive eruptions because it tends to trap water and gas bubbles :)
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.
This type of magma has low silica content?
There are three types of magma that contains silica. Basaltic Magma has 50 percent silica, Andesitic Magma has 60 percent silica, and Granitic Magma has 70 percent silica.
What is Silica rich thick magma called?
The three types of magma, named for the rock they form are basaltic, rhyolitic and andesitic. Rhyolitic magma is rich in silica and water vapor.
Which flows easier high silica magna or low silica magna?
High silica magma is more viscous (sticky) than low silica magma, so low silica magma lows easier.
How does the amount of silica content change the viscosity of magma How does this affect the flow of magma?
The amount of silica and water affect the viscosity of the magma. The more viscous the magma, the slower the flow rate and the shorter and the thicker the flows. Silica makes for a more viscous magma.
