Temperature differences between acidic and basaltic lava?

What are 5 characteristics of basic and acidic lava?

Basic lava has low viscosity, low silica content, high temperature, and flows easily over long distances. It typically produces gentle, effusive eruptions. Acidic lava, on the other hand, has high viscosity, high silica content, lower temperature, and tends to explode violently, leading to more explosive eruptions.


Account with the aids of diagrams for the differences in the shapes of basic lava cone and acidic lava cone?

Its because of the the difference in lava viscosity (Sticky-ness), more viscous lava will settle near the crater, forming acid lava volcanoes. However, less viscous lava will spread out over a large area before solidifying forming a shield volcano, thus there is a difference in the gradients of the slopes. Acid lava volcanoes have steeper slopes and shield volcanoes are flat at the top with gentle slopes.

What are some examples of lava?

Examples of lava include basaltic lava, andesitic lava, and rhyolitic lava. Basaltic lava is fluid and forms flat landscapes like the Hawaiian Islands, while andesitic lava is stickier and can create steep volcanoes like those in the Andes. Rhyolitic lava is very viscous and can lead to explosive eruptions, forming features like Yellowstone's geysers.
