A characteristic of lava that determines the force of a volcanic eruption is?
Viscosity.
Which conditions make for a violent volcanic eruption?
Magma with low viscosity
What factors determine the force of a volcano eruption?
Factors that determine the force of an eruption are magma viscosity and gas content.
What role did viscosity play on the volcanic eruption?
no role is played because Hugh cleary is awesome
What condition make for a week volcanic eruption?
The answer is : Magma with low viscosity. It makes for a weak volcanic eruption. If the viscosity is low (thin), non-explosive eruptions usually begin with fire fountains due to release of dissolved gases. When magma reaches the surface of the earth, it is called lava.
What determined how strong a volcanic eruption will be?
The viscosity of the magma

What is the difference between viscosity and volcanic erutions?
Viscosity is a measure of resistance to flow in a fluid. A volcanic eruption is a violent discharge of molten rock and ash.
What factors determine the force of a volcano eruption?
Factors that determine the force of an eruption are magma viscosity and gas content.
What conditions make for a violent volcanic eruption?
Magma with high silica content
What role did viscosity play on the volcanic eruption?
no role is played because Hugh cleary is awesome
How viscosity affect volcanic eruptions?
Viscosity is how thick the magma is and this can impact on how much a volcano erupts and how it flows.
What condition make for a week volcanic eruption?
The answer is : Magma with low viscosity. It makes for a weak volcanic eruption. If the viscosity is low (thin), non-explosive eruptions usually begin with fire fountains due to release of dissolved gases. When magma reaches the surface of the earth, it is called lava.
Do you say a volcano eruption or volcanic eruption?
It's eruption.
Why do volcanic eruptions differ?
The main cause of differences in volcanic eruption characteristics is due to the viscosity of the magma. High viscosity magmas are high in sticky silica which traps gas and produces explosive eruptions. Low viscosity magmas are low in silica and produce eruptions with far less energetic characteristics.
What are the two important factors that affect the explosiveness of a volcanic eruption?
Pressure and magma
