Which type of magma causes quiet volcanoes?

Mafic magma (low in silica content) typically causes quiet eruptions because it is less viscous and flows more easily, leading to gentle lava flows. These eruptions are characterized by low explosivity and can result in shield volcanoes or lava plateaus.


What type of magma causes quiet eruption?

Magma with low viscosity, such as basaltic magma, typically causes quiet eruptions. This type of magma flows easily and allows gases to escape, resulting in relatively gentle eruptions with less explosive activity.


What type of plate boundary triggers the formation of active volcanoes as magma rises beneath the surface?

Oceanic-to-Oceanic plate boundary triggers the formation of active volcanoes as magma rises beneath the surface.Transform plate boundaries trigger the formation of active volcanoes as magma rises beneath the surface.


Which magma type resulted in a quiet eruptions?

That would normally be magma with a low silica content.


What type of magma erupts from a cinder cone volcano?

Cinder cone volcanoes are formed by basaltic magma.


What type of magma forms the most exlosive volcanoes?

Gaseous thick magma equals massive explosion.


What type of rock is formed from volcanoes magma or lava?

igneos rock


What type of magma do high explosive volcanoes have?

Viscous, gaseous magma, usually of high acidity as compared to basalt.


What is one type of plate boundary where volcanoes might form?

There are divergent boundries which causes Shield Volcanoes(an ocean volcano) and there a subducting boundries which causes a composite volcano(land volcano) there is also a cinder cone but that is made from a magma chamber(a place where magma is stored beneath the volcano and in the earths crust) explodes from being overfilled and layers upon layers form.


Higly explosive volcanoes tend to have what type of magma?

Highly explosive volcanoes tend to have thick and viscous magma with high silica content. This type of magma traps gases, leading to pressure buildup and explosive eruptions. Examples of explosive volcanoes include stratovolcanoes like Mount St. Helens.


What type of eroption does the kilauea have quiet or violent or both?

I think it is violent because volcanoes are NEVER quiet there always loud


What type of magma do highly explosive volcanoes have?

Highly explosive volcanoes typically have viscous, silica-rich magma known as rhyolitic magma. This type of magma contains high amounts of gas and is prone to causing explosive eruptions due to the trapped pressure within the magma chamber.
