Compare and contrast the three types of magma?

Basaltic Magma is typically forms when rocks in the upper mantle melt...Andesitic Magma is found along continental margins....Rhyolitic Magma forms when molten material rises and mixes with the overlying silica-and water-richcontinental crust...All 3 of them is a magma.


What is Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil Explosive?

I only know of it being either a fertilizer used in agriculture or explosive used in mining. I believe they both look similar (small round balls) but are of different grades with the mining grade being more refined and expensive. The mixture is an emulsion similar in character to mayonaise. It requires a high explosive detonator to realy the potential energy. The AN for explosives is called "prill" and only differs from the fertilizer by be manufactured to make the surface porous so the Fuel Oil can become intergarated intothe structure of the prill for increased explosive power.


What two properties of magma determine what kind of volcano will form?

The silica content and the gas content of magma are two properties that determine what kind of volcano will form. Magma with low silica content and low gas content tends to form effusive, shield volcanoes, while magma with high silica content and high gas content tends to form explosive, stratovolcanoes.


Rhyolite is associated with what type of eruption?

Rhyolite is associated with explosive eruptions.


What is Mt Fuji's magmas viscosity?

Mount Fuji's magma is known to have relatively low viscosity compared to other volcanoes, which contributes to its more gentle eruptions. This low viscosity magma allows for gases to escape more easily, reducing the likelihood of explosive eruptions.

Is c4 deadly?

Yes. It is a high explosive.


How are explosive classified?

Explosives are classified by their sensitivity, energy output, and chemical composition. They can be grouped into categories such as high explosives (e.g., TNT, C4), low explosives (e.g., black powder, fireworks), and blasting agents (e.g., ANFO). These categories are further divided based on their intended use and potential hazards.


What type of explosive is widely used by the military and is one of the least sensitive explosives.?

While we use several, you are probably thinking of Composition C4. It is composed of RDX explosive in a mix of a plastic binder. In Great Britain it is called PE-4. It is a low sensitivity explosive with high energy.


What is the C4 in MW3?

it's an explosive


What contains an explosive charge beginning with c?

C4


How does C4 work?

C4 is an explosive compound known as RDX that is coated with a plastic binder. The plastic basically serves as both an protector for the explosive, and as an malleable feature for it. Since the explosive has a coating of plastic over it, to set off C4, a blasting cap or wire is usually inserted into the explosive, and a jolt of electricity sent through it to set the RDX off.


How many joules does c4 produce?

A gram of C4 explosive produces approximately 6,700 joules of energy when detonated.


What is in c4?

C4 is basically the explosive called RDX coated in a plastic binder. The role of the plastic binder is to both coat and protect the RDX, and also make the explosive malleable. Think of C4 as just an explosive in a plastic container.


When was c4 invented?

C4 is a type of plastic explosive. It was first invented by Alfred Nobel in 1875 and was called gelignite.


What do C4 do?

C4 is an plastic explosive commonly used to demolish (blow up) old buildings and other unwanted structures. It's not commonly used or at all used in combat because it is a somewhat unwieldy explosive.


Is gunpowder a high explosive?

Gunpowder is not classified as a high explosive; it is a low explosive. Low explosives, like gunpowder, deflagrate, meaning they burn rapidly but do not produce a shock wave. In contrast, high explosives detonate, creating a supersonic shockwave. Gunpowder is primarily used in firearms and fireworks, while high explosives are used in military ordnance and demolition.
