How mt merapi gets it name?
Mount Merapi was formed by two converging plates. Subduction causes slabs of oceanic crust to sink through a deep-ocean trench into the mantle. The crust melts and forms magma, which then rises back toward the surface. It is located along the Sunda, or Java trench. When the magma from the melted crust erupts as lava, volcanoes are formed. Mount Merapi is located along an island arc.
What type of magma does a composite volcano have?
Composite volcanoes can contain a wide variaty of magmas ranging from basaltic to rhyolitic.
What type of plate boundary is mount merapi near?
destructive plate boundary
What type of volcano has magma that contains large volumes of gases but not silica and water?
The most explosive type of volcano, which is the type that has water, is called a boiler volcano. All active volcanoes have magma, and emit carbon dioxide. Magma can contain silica.
What type of magma is thick and slow moving?
The type of magma which is thick and slow is Felsic Magma.
What eruption type is mount merapi?
Stratovolcano
Does magma contain minerals?
Of coarse, magma is a melted mixture of rocks.

What type of eruption occurs at Mount Merapi?
Explosive and oozy.
What type of mountain is mount merapi?
It is an active volcanic mountain
What boundary type is Mount Merapi?
destructive plate boundary
What is the type of magma contain a lot of silica and water vapor is?
The three types of magma, named for the rock they form are basaltic, rhyolitic and andesitic. Rhyolitic magma is rich in silica and water vapor.
What is the main ingredient of a magma?
That depends on the type of magma (there are more than one type), they are formed by partial/eutectic melting of either continental crustal rocks or mantle material and will therefore contain different minerals.
What type of magma does a composite volcano have?
Composite volcanoes can contain a wide variaty of magmas ranging from basaltic to rhyolitic.
On what valcanic plate boundary type is Mt Merapi?
It is above a subduction zone
What type of plate boundary is mount merapi near?
