because the more silica the bigger the eruption is and the less silica the smaller the eruption

What kind of eruption is produced when basaltic lava that is low is silica flows from a volcano?
quiet nonexplosive eruptionsquiet nonexplosive eruptionsquiet nonexplosive eruptions
What kind of eription is produced when basaltic lava that is low in silica flows from a volcan?
A quiet, non explosive eruption. Silica-high lava produces explosive eruptions.
Does Paricutin have basaltic lava or granitic lava?
Paricutin is a volcano in Michoacán, Mexico. The volcano is a cinder cone volcano. This means that the volcano is made up of layers of ash and stones that erupt out of the earth when the volcano erupts.
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
How does magma composition and the resulting eruption affect the form of a volcano?
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.

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.
What type of eruption produces a viscous magma containing 53 percent silica and a gas content of 2 percent?
Basaltic
What kind of lava forms shield volcanoes?
Shield volcanoes are fed by basaltic magma.
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.
What type of lava flows easily?
Basaltic lava has a low viscosity which means it is thin and runny so it flows easily and spreads out.(:
Correct order of decreasing magma viscosity?
The amount of viscosity present in magma depends on the amount of silica it has. A composite volcano produces rhyolitic lava which is very thick. A shield volcano produces a basaltic lava with less silica and significantly less viscosity.
Does basaltic magma have a lot of silica or very little?
Basaltic magma is low in silica compared to andesitic or granitic magma.
