If you have quiet eruption what kind of silica do you have?
If you have a quiet eruption you have low silica.
Does Pinatubo have silicia?
The magma of all volcanoes contains silica. The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo involved dacite magma, which has a high silica composition.
What kind of eruption is produced when basaltic lava that is low in silica flows from a volcano?
quiet nonexplosive eruptionsquiet nonexplosive eruptionsquiet nonexplosive eruptions
What contains a glasslike substance called silica?
silicon dioxide
Why is magma that contains little silica less to erupt explosively?
Magma with less silica is thinner and runnier.Therfore, gases can move out of the magma easily.
If you have quiet eruption what kind of silica do you have?
If you have a quiet eruption you have low silica.

What is the relationship between the silica contents of magma and the explosiveness of a volcanic eruption?
The high the silica content, the explosive and the eruption.
What is the little package found in packages called?
It is called silica. silica is poisonous but completely nontoxic.
What contains a glasslike substance called silica?
silicon dioxide
Why is magma that contains little silica less to erupt explosively?
Magma with less silica is thinner and runnier.Therfore, gases can move out of the magma easily.
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.
In a strombolian eruption the percent of silica changes?
Basicaly strombolian vocanic eruption is basaltic , it have lage amount of Fe and Mg . it have no or very low amount of silica
Why is magma that contains little silica less likely erupt explosively?
Magma with less silica is thinner and runnier.Therfore, gases can move out of the magma easily.
Why is magma that contains little silica less likely to erupt explosively?
Magma with less silica is thinner and runnier.Therfore, gases can move out of the magma easily.
How can the composition of magma affect the way volcano erupts?
If the composition of the magma is high in silica, the eruption will be explosive. The Eruption of Mt. St. Helens was an explosive eruption. If the composition of the magma is low in silica, it will produce a quiet eruption. The eruption(s) of Mt. Kilauea are quiet eruptions.
