What properties of magma help to determine the type of eruptions?
The properties of magma that help to determine the type of eruption are the magma's viscosity and its silica content. Those volcanoes that exhibit massive eruptions have a high viscosity and high silica content.
What are the properties of magma help to determine the types of eruptions?
Magma is a term for rock in liquid form. It differs from lava only in 1 respect, its location. Whilst lava is the name for liquid rock released from a volcano in an eruption, magma is the name for liquid rock found beneath the surface of a planet. The temperature for magma is around 700-1300 degrees Celcius.
What factors help determine whether a volcanic eruption will be violent or quiet?
· It is determined by the primary factors of the magma's Temperature, its Composition, and the amount of Dissolved Gases it contains.
Which factors help determine whether a volcanic eruption will be explosive or relatively quiet?
The volatile content of the magma. Weather water or Ice has ingres to the volcanic vent. The physical stability of the volcano.
What element do scientist measure to classify magma?
Scientists measure the silica content, temperature, and viscosity of magma to classify it into different types, such as basaltic, andesitic, or rhyolitic. These properties help determine how explosive or effusive a volcano might be when the magma erupts.
How does a GPS predict a volcanic eruption?
High-precision GPS can be used to detect shifts in the ground on and near a volcano. This can be used to infer the underground movement of magma, which can help in predicting an eruption.
What signs can scientist study to try to predict volcanic eruptions?
Before an eruption, magma moves into the area beneath the volcano and collects in a magma chamber, or reservoir. As it comes closer to the surface, the magma releases gases. These events can offer valuable clues about the likelihood of an eruption.
Why can earthquakes be a warning that a eruption is about to happen?
Movement of high pressure magma underground typically occurs before a volcanic eruption. This magma is under such a high pressure that it can cause hydraulic fracturing of the surrounding rocks and even bulging of the crust. Both these events will release seismic waves (cause earthquakes). All these data help geologists predict that an eruption is about to occur.

What determines the frequency and types of eruptions you can expect from a volcano?
The crystal and gas content and temperature of a magma help determine a volcano's eruption style. • Crystals in magma make it more viscous, so magma with a high crystal content is more likely to explode than flow. • Gases create explosions if they cannot easily escape from viscous magma, but they can also be released without explosions (or with only minor ones) from fluid magma. • High-temperature magmas usually erupt effusively, while low-temperature magmas cannot flow easily and are more likely to erupt explosively.
