yes and no. water effects the magma. a lot of water will make magma harden faster. but a little water makes the magma speed up/move faster. magma gases don't really effect water, its really the volcanic ash and toxic fumes that effect the water. (volcanic mudslides also effect water)

When rock melts into magma it releases?
Gases
The atmospheric gases primarily responsible for your grenhouses effect are?
water vapor and carbon dioxide
How is the strength of a volcanic eruption related to the magma in the volcano?
If the magma is more viscous, the eruption is stronger.
Does granite form from gases?
No. Granite forms from magma, which is liquid rock. There are gasses trapped in the magma, but they only make up a small portion of it.
What kinds of gases are in magma?
mostly water vapor,and some carbon dioxide.minor Sulfur,Chlorine, and Fluorine gases
Do the gases trapped in the magma cause the magma to erupt to the surface?
No, the fact that the magma has such a low density is why it rises. However, gasses do effect the manner in which it erupts.
What is the relationship between the amount of gases in magma and the explosiveness a volcanic eruption?
The more gases, water vapor and silica there is in magma the bigger the explosiveness of a volcanic eruption.
What is a molten mixture of rock forming substances and gases and water?
magma
Describe how differences in magma affect volcanic eruptions?
It depends on the texture of the magma, if it is thick then it won't let the gases escape, and if it is liquidy then the gases will escape resulting in a nonexplosive eruption. If the magma is high in silica and water then it will be thick If the magma is low or has no silica or water then it will be liquidy. - Negehna 6th Grade
How does changing water into gas in a popcorn kernel model the expansion of dissolved water in magma?
The corn pops, and the expanding gases cause the magma to spew.
What is molten mixture of rock forming substances gases and water from the mantle?
Magma
What is an underground molten mixture of rock- forming substances gases and water from the mantle?
A magma.
Can dissolved gases comprise up to a few percent by weight of magma?
yes, but it depends on what type of magmaIt is TRUE. So yes, dissolved gasses comprise up to a few percent by weight of a magma. Hope this helps! have a nice day =]
What type of volcanic eruption depends on the amount of gases and the composition?
The type of volcanic eruption depends on the amount of gases and the composition of magma. In addition to the composition of the magma, the volcanic eruption depends on the ration of sulfur, carbon dioxide, and water the magma contains.
What effect does silica content have on the magma?
Silica content makes the magma thicker which can cause a more explosive eruption, and also make it so more gases aer open to be trapped
How does the release of trapped gases in magma cause a volcano to erupt?
Some of the trapped gas in a magma will be water vapour, but at very high temperature. As the magma rises in the volcanic pipe, the pressure will lower, and the entrained vapour will expand rapidly = an explosion.
What is the definition of a fumarole?
These are vents through which volcanic gases and water vapour escape to the earth's surfaec.Fumaroles are formed when magma heats underground water,it mixes with volcanic gases and the mixture is eventually released as steam.
