What else can I help you with?
Between mafic lava and felsic lava which flowsfaster?
Mafic lava is hotter than felsic lava and therefore flows faster.
Is felsic lava thick?
Felsic lava is a slower moving lava, with high silica content. Most felsic lava deposits as granite, granite, muscovite, and orthoclase.
Which moves fast felsic lava or mafic lava?
A mafic lava flow will move faster than a felsic lava flow due to its lower viscosity. However, felsic magma tends to erupt explosively, producing fast-moving pyroclastic flows instead of lava flows.
What is moving Lava?
Felsic magma.
Where did felsic lava get its name?
The term felsic des derived from feldspar and silica, which are the primary components of felsic rock.
What type of magma does Mt.Tambora have?
felsic lava
What kind of lava is in Mt Vesuvius?
the type of lava from mt vesuvius is felsic lava in a pyroclstic explosion.
Does mt etna have mafic or felsic lava?
Oh, dude, Mt. Etna has both mafic and felsic lava. It's like a lava buffet up there! Mafic lava is low in silica and more runny, while felsic lava is high in silica and thicker. So, yeah, Mt. Etna serves up a mix of both, keeping things interesting for all the volcano enthusiasts out there.
What is coolslow-moving lava called?
Felsic magma.
Where does felsic lava form at?
== == Felsic lava has a higher silica content than mafic lava. Felsic lava is slower moving (high viscosity) than the less viscous mafic lava. Mafic lava is higher in dark minerals and higher in the elements iron and magnesium.
Does felsic lava create violent or quiet eruptions?
Felsic lava, due to its high viscosity and generally high gas content tends to produce violent eruptions.
Does paricutin mafic or felsic lava?
Paricutin volcano in Mexico predominantly erupted mafic lava, which is rich in magnesium and iron and has a low silica content. This type of lava tends to flow more easily compared to felsic lava.
