What else can I help you with?
Suppose a volcano that is about to erupt contains mafic magma. The mafic magma has a very low silica content. what types of igneous rocks will the volcano most likely form?
basalt
What type of magma does cotopaxi have?
blue the cotopaxi volcano has red magma when turned to rock. it also has a high silica content
How does silica content affect igenous rocks?
It determines high silica or low silica. It will determine if it is sticky or not, or if it flows fast or slow. *high in silica~Sticky, and slow. Will not flow easily. *low in silica~Fact, not sticky. Will flow easily.
What type of lava is erupted from Mount Kilimanjaro?
Mt. Fuji is Japan's highest mountain. The lava that comes out of this volcano is silica-poor lava that is very thick and chunky.
Advantages of frequency domain over time domain?
advantage is that if we represent a composite signal in frequency domain........then we clearly see that how much signals are involved in composite signal and their separate peak values
How much silica is in a composite volcano?
A composite volcano has high silica because they are known to be explosive.
Is Mt Etna a composite or a shield volcano?
Mt. Etna is a composite volcano, also known as a stratovolcano. It is characterized by its steep profile and explosive eruptions due to the presence of viscous magma rich in silica.
What type of volcano is most likely to form when magma is high in silica?
Lava high in silica (granitic lava) tends to be thick and viscous, so the volcano is likely to be composite rather than shield.
What is a volcano with high silica?
A volcano with high silica content is referred to as a stratovolcano or composite volcano. These volcanoes have highly viscous magma due to the high silica content, leading to explosive eruptions that can be violent and dangerous. Examples include Mt. St. Helens in the United States and Mt. Fuji in Japan.
How much damage does a complex volcano do?
not much, the volcano type that does he worst damage is the composite/strato volcano. The composite and strato volcano are the same types just different names.
What are the phases ofa volcano?
A volcano starts when a hole in the ground leeks magma. It lays out around the hole that started. It will take a while but eventually a big volcano will stand. It will be a composite volcano a shield volcano or a cinder cone volcano. The eruption wont always be explosive. It depends on the amount of silica in the lave. If it has alot of silica it will be explosive. If is low in silica it will ooz out. If you would like to know more go to www.newsdial.com Nature Natural Disasters .
Is a composite volcano thick or runny?
A composite volcano, also known as a stratovolcano, typically has a thick and viscous lava flow due to its high silica content. This type of volcano tends to erupt explosively, producing a mixture of lava, ash, and volcanic rocks.
What causes the difference between quiet and exploses eruptions?
It depends on how much silica is in the magma. If there is low-silica in the magma then the volcano will erupt quietly. If there is high-silica in the magma then the volcano will erupt explosively.
Is katmai volcano a shield volcano?
No. It is a composite volcano.
Is mount fuji a cinder cone volcano shield volcano or a composite volcano?
Mount Fuji is a composite volcano.
What type of volcano has magma that contains large volumes of gases but not silica and water?
A volcano with magma that contains large volumes of gases but not silica and water is typically a shield volcano. These volcanoes have low viscosity magma that allows gases to escape easily, resulting in relatively gentle eruptions characterized by lava flows.
What does the amount of silica in a volcanos magma determine about its eruption?
If a volcano's magma is high in silica, the volcano will probably erupt explosively. If the magma is not high in silica, the volcano will probably erupt quietly.
