What is the behavior of lava with silica content being high and low?
Lava with high silica content will erupt explosively, if it has low silica content it will flow.
Do shield volcanoes have high silica or low silica?
Shield volcanoes produce low-silica lava.
Does kilauea have a high or low silica content?
Kilauea erupts low-silica lava.
How would you describe lava with a high viscosity?
The highest viscosity lava is rhyolite. Rhyolitic lava tends to form dome-shaped volcanoes and tends to cause explosive eruptions.
Does AA lava have a lot of silica?
no. AA has a relatively low silica content level.

Do shield volcanoes have high silica or low silica?
Shield volcanoes produce low-silica lava.
Does pillow lava have high silica?
No. Pillow lava is basaltic, so it has a low silica content.
Does kilauea have a high or low silica content?
Kilauea erupts low-silica lava.
Is kilauea high in silica?
No. Kilauea erupts low-silica lava.

What is the average silica content of a'a lava?
A'a lava has a generally low silica content. Having low silica content means that it also has a low viscosity level. Having a low viscosity level means that it flows easily.
Does AA lava have a lot of silica?
no. AA has a relatively low silica content level.
Does the lava that forms shield volcanoes probably have a lot of silica or water in it?
No. Shield volcanoes form from basaltic lava with a low silica content and a low water content.
What type of lava does mt hood have high silica or low silica?
Mount Hood has high silica levels so the lava is felsic (Mt. Hood's silica values are as high as 64%).
Is popocatepetl lava low silics or high silica?
