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.


What are the two types of magma and what makes them different?

I'm not sure... but the two different types of lava are: Viscous - sticky and slow moving, resulting in tall volcanoes Non Viscous - runny and fast moving, resulting in short and very spread out volcanoes (shield volcanoes)


How is magma classified?

Magma is classified based on its silica content, which determines its viscosity and behavior. Magma is typically classified into four main types: basaltic, andesitic, rhyolitic, and dacitic, based on their silica content and mineral composition. These classifications help geologists understand the types of volcanoes and eruptions that can occur.


WHAT ARE THE THREE TYPES OF MAGMA AND THE DIFFERENCES?

The three types of magma are basaltic, andesitic, and rhyolitic. They differ in their silica content, viscosity, and eruptive behavior. Basaltic magma has low silica content, low viscosity, and tends to erupt quietly, while rhyolitic magma has high silica content, high viscosity, and tends to erupt explosively. Andesitic magma falls in between these two in terms of composition and behavior.


What two processes results in the formation of igneous rocks?

Igneous rocks are formed through two processes: cooling and solidification of molten rock (magma) on or beneath the Earth's surface (extrusive), and cooling and crystallization of magma deep beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive).

What is the difference between magma mixing and assimilation?

Magma mixing occurs when two different magma bodies combine, leading to a new composition. Assimilation, on the other hand, involves the incorporation of host rock material into the magma, altering its composition. Magma mixing involves the interaction of two magmas, while assimilation involves the interaction between magma and surrounding rocks.

What type of magma is closer to intrusive rocks?

magma can be classified into two,magma of granitic composition(originates from lower continental crust) and magma of basaltic composition (which originates from upper mantle).Both can form intrusive rocks.
