Lava moves from its viscosity.
The silica content effects the force of a volcanic eruption because magma with a lot of silica is thicker and magma with less silica is thinner. The amount of dissolved gases in magma effects the force of a volcanic eruption because the less gas in the magma, the less pressure will be inside the volcano. The temperature of the magma effects the force of a volcanic eruption because the hotter the magma, the more runny it is.
Factors that determine the force of an eruption are magma viscosity and gas content.
The explosive force of a volcanic eruption comes from gas trapped in the magma. The magma that feeds Mauna Loa has a low gas content.
Magma, (Volcanic Rock)
Magma is propelled to the surface by temperature differences, which cause convection currents. The temperature differences result from radioactive elements within the mantle.

The force of a volcanic eruption is affected by many factors. They include, viscosity of the magma, its temperature, amount of gas content, and the size of the magma reservoir.

False
No. Dissolved gasses trapped under pressure provide the force.
No. Dissolved gasses trapped under pressure provide the force.
If the magma is more viscous, the eruption is stronger.
The primary explosive force that results in an eruption is the release of built-up pressure in the Earth's mantle. This pressure is caused by the accumulation of magma beneath the surface, which contains volatile gases such as water vapor and carbon dioxide. When the pressure becomes too great, it causes the magma to explosively erupt to the surface, resulting in a volcanic eruption.
