The three elements that determine viscosity in magma are:
- Temperature
- Silica
- Oxides (gases)
Viscosity changes the way in which magma will flow. Magma with low viscosity will flow much more easily than high viscosity magma.

What is the viscosity of butanol in millipoise?
The viscosity of n-butanol is 2,593.10-3 Pa.s or 25,93 millipoise.
What is the pressure of water at 22 degrees C?
At 22oC: kinematic viscosity is: 1.0004 (m2/s)x10-6 dynamic viscosity is: 1.002 (Ns/m2)x10-3
Why viscosity of mercury is less than water?
viscosity of mercury is lesser than of water,because shear stress developed in water is more than mercury, this is taken from the relation viscosity is directly proportional to the shear stress and inversely proportional to velocity gradient.from fluid mechanics.
What is the viscosity and density of stearic acid at 20 degree Celsius and 33 degree Celsius?
it is 6.74 centistokes
What is the density of petrol?
737.22 kg/m^3 The density depends on a whole range of factors including purity and Temperature. Use the above as a guide though but in situations where the value of density is critical, take a sample to the lab for them to determine the correct value.
Where does the viscosity of magma depends?
1. Chemical Composition of the magma. 2. Concentration of the melt. 3. Presence of Volatiles. 4. Amount of Water present in the magma.
Why do some volcanoes erupt violently and others don't?
Three important factors control whether an eruption will be explosive or quiet. One is the amount of water vapor and other gases that are trapped in the magma. The other factor is how much silica is present in the magma. And temperature.
What are 3 substances that affect the explosiveness of volcanic eruptions?
Amount of dissolved gasses in a liquid, the silica content, and the viscosity of the magma.
Four factors involved in the formation of magma?
Four factors involved in the formation of magma include; 1. Temperature. 2. Depth. 3. Chemical composition. 4. Quantity of water in the melt.
How do you determine if a number has 3 factors?
Squares of prime numbers have three factors.
What three factors affect the formation of magma?
1. the coarse grained rock 2. slow cooling magma 3. fine grained rock
Determine the prime factors of 30?
The prime factors of 30 are: 2, 3, and 5.
What 3 factors determine the weight of an object?
Volume, density, and gravity.
What 3 factors determine the strength of a joint?
Person place or thing
What are the three factors that influence the explosive nature of volcanic eruption?
following are the three factors affecting volcanic eruption or volcanic activity 1. temperature rise in interior which will cause rocks to melt 2. reduction in pressure which has already increased the melting temperature of rocks. 3. addition of fluids like water which helps in decreasing melting temperature of rocks
How long does it take for lava to harden?
Magma underground can take hundreds of thousands of years to cool. Magma above ground can, under certain circumstances, cool within minutes.
What are the 3 factors that determine a company's price-earnings ratio?
the accounting method used
