What element has the greatest effect on magma characteristics?
The percentage of silicon in magma greatly affects its viscosity.
What is the relationship between magma and element?
it depends which one.
Is it true the element found in magma are quite different from those found in the earth crust?
Yes
What signs can scientist study to try to predict volcanic eruptions?
Before an eruption, magma moves into the area beneath the volcano and collects in a magma chamber, or reservoir. As it comes closer to the surface, the magma releases gases. These events can offer valuable clues about the likelihood of an eruption.
Mass rock formed when a volcano's magma chamber empties and collapses?
Scientist say the sill and dike help detemine this

How can you use magma in a sentence?

One of two items used to classify igneous rock?
Their crystalline nature.
What element has the greatest effect on magma characteristics?
The percentage of silicon in magma greatly affects its viscosity.
Does magma erode igneous rocks inside a volcano?
In a way. A magma is hotter then the surrounding rock, that's why the magma is molten and the rock is not. But because of this, some heat of the magma is melting the surrounding rock. You might want to classify this as erosion, but it's simply the melting of the rock surrounding the magma.
What is the relationship between magma and element?
it depends which one.
What is the difference between lava and magma. why do scientist make a distinction?
Magma is the molten rock under ground. Once it is expelled from a volcano, it is called lava. They are two separate phenomena.
What scientist call the rock that is formed when magma cools below earth's surface?
An intrusive igneous rock.
Is it true the element found in magma are quite different from those found in the earth crust?
Yes
