The large amount of water would first increase the amount of magma, as it make it easier to melt rocks. Then the water vapor would help cause explosive eruptions.

How do you think the location of a volcano affects the magma composition?

The location of a volcano can affect the magma composition by influencing the source of the magma. Magma composition can vary based on factors like the depth of the magma source, the presence of subducted materials, and the amount of water and gases present. Different locations can have different geological conditions that influence the composition of the magma erupted by a volcano.


What happens when there is a lot of water present in the magma?

The large amount of water would increase the amount of magma, making it easier to melt rocks. The water vapor would help the magma cause explosive eruptions.

What type of volcano has magma that contains large volumes of gases but not silica and water?

A volcano with magma that contains large volumes of gases but not silica and water is typically a shield volcano. These volcanoes have low viscosity magma that allows gases to escape easily, resulting in relatively gentle eruptions characterized by lava flows.


Will the sea drain away in an underwater volcanic eruption?

No, because as the magma rises from underwater volcanoes it heats the water causing it to rise. The magma then solidifies. Therefore when the volcano is active it is always heating the water around it. When the magma stops flowing then the volcano will solidify.


How are volcanoes and geysers related?

A geyser is an underground volcano with water on the surface of it. This water is then boiled by the magma.


What is in a under water volcano?

Usually basaltic magma and hot hydrothermal fluids.


Why is Kilauea volcano non explosive?

Kilauea is a shield volcano fed by gas-poor basaltic magma. It is the gas in the magma that makes eruptions explosive. Kilauea has occasionally produced explosive eruptions when magma cam in contact with water.


What happens if water got into a volcano?

What would happen if water was present in wet magma?

wet magma is nothing but magma which is cooling down.if wet magma touches water, it will cool down the magma.2. Much volcanic material, magma included contains water - hence forming clouds above an active volcano. But seldom is material ejected from the throat steaming when it lands, therefore most of the moisture is rapidly dissipated.Volcanic glasses can occasionally contain water, under large pressure and temperature, and upon the explosive ejection, may form pumice or ignimbrite.Presumably the water in the magma was entrained during the subduction phase of the cycle.


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 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.
