The most common dissolved gas in magma is water vapor, or H2O. Other important gases that may be present in magma and released during volcanic eruptions are carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide.

Is phosphorus the most abundant gas in the atmosphere?

No, nitrogen is the most abundant gas in Earth's atmosphere, making up about 78% of the atmosphere. Phosphorus is not found as a gas in the atmosphere; it is primarily found in solid or dissolved forms in minerals, rocks, soils, and living organisms.


Does water vapor affect how explosive a volcano is?

Yes. More gas trapped in magma leads to a more explosive eruption. Water vapor is the most abundant gas in magma.


What is the solute and solvent in liquid and gas solution?

In a liquid solution, the solute is the substance that is dissolved, and the solvent is the substance that does the dissolving. In a gas solution, the solute is the gas that is being dissolved, and the solvent is the gas that does the dissolving.

How does the amount of dissolved gas affect the magma?

The amount of dissolved gas in magma can influence its viscosity and explosivity. Higher gas content can lead to more explosive eruptions as the gas expands and tries to escape. Lower gas content can result in less explosive lava flows.


What is the most abundant gas in seawater as well as in the atmosphere?

The most abundant gas in seawater is nitrogen, while the most abundant gas in the atmosphere is nitrogen as well.


How does does gas behave at different depths in a magma and how does it influence eruptive style?

At most depths, gas is dissolved in the magma under pressure. When the magma gets close to the surface the gas comes out of solution, forming bubbles which expand rapidly. If enough gas is present in the magma, this expansion results in eruptions that take the form of violent explosions and generate large clouds of ash.


When magma reaches the surface its dissolved gas content increases True or False?

False! The reduction in pressure causes the gasses to exsolve (come out of solution) and escape into the atmosphere, so the dissolved gas content of a magma reduces when it reaches the surface.

Is magma a explosive eruption and why?

Magma is not an eruption. Magma is a mixture of molten minerals and dissolved gas that is underground. All volcanic eruptions, apart from phreatic eruptions, involve magma.
