Do shells have a high silica content?
yes
What is a light colored rock with a high silica content?
granite
What are the main magma rocks?
Felsic, high in silica. Mafic, low in silica. Intrusive, those formed underground. Extrusive, those formed above ground.
What conditions make for a violent volcanic eruption?
Magma with high silica content
What is Mt Fuji's magmas viscosity?
It is quite viscous with a high silica content.
What does the amount of silica in a volcanos magma determine about its eruption?
If a volcano's magma is high in silica, the volcano will probably erupt explosively. If the magma is not high in silica, the volcano will probably erupt quietly.
How much silica is in a composite volcano?
A composite volcano has high silica because they are known to be explosive.
What is silica content of a cinder cone volcano?
High silica levels are in cinder cone volcano's
What type of volcano will form from a small volcano erupting with high amounts of silica?
penis
Why is magma with high levels of silica explosive?
The more silica the volcano has, the more the pressure is occurring and eventually it becomes so strong that the volcano erupts .
What causes the difference between quiet and exploses eruptions?
It depends on how much silica is in the magma. If there is low-silica in the magma then the volcano will erupt quietly. If there is high-silica in the magma then the volcano will erupt explosively.
What type of volcano is most likely to form when magma is high in silica?
Lava high in silica (granitic lava) tends to be thick and viscous, so the volcano is likely to be composite rather than shield.
What will happen if a volcano is high in silica?
It will be very explosive and also probably produce a cinder cone or composite volcano.
What conditions make for a violent volcano eruptions?
magma and high silica content
What is the shape of a volcano with low silica?
Shield Volcano
Material found in magma that formed from oxygen and silicon?
Silica yes! because when lava from the magma chamber rises toward the top of the volcano the lava or silica it depends on the hot ness of high silica or low silica!!!! :D
What are the two factors the control whether a volcano eruption will be explosive or quiet?
water vapor and high in silica
