The amount of silica and water affect the viscosity of the magma. The more viscous the magma, the slower the flow rate and the shorter and the thicker the flows.

Silica makes for a more viscous magma.

How do you change the viscosity of honey?

You can change the viscosity of honey by adding water. While you will no longer have pure honey, the water will change its viscosity. The viscosity of pure honey is approximately 10,000 cP at 20°C and at 1 atmosphere. However, this will vary with the type of honey you have.


Which property of magma will change the viscosity?

Silica content determines viscosity. The higher the silica content the more viscous (slower moving). Ultramafic <45% silica Least viscous Mafic 45-52% Silica Intermediate 53-65% Silica Felsic >65% Silica Highly viscous


What is the effect of temperature change to the amount of heat content of the substance?

The effect of temperature change to the amount of heat content of the substance is called heat transfer. As heat increases, the temperature decreases.


How could you change the viscosity of the substances?

You can change the viscosity of a substance by adjusting its temperature- generally, increasing temperature decreases viscosity and vice versa. You can also alter the composition of the substance by adding viscosity modifiers or solvents to increase or decrease viscosity accordingly. Mixing different substances together can also affect the overall viscosity of the mixture.


How does viscocity affect inertia?

Viscosity is the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. Higher viscosity fluids have more resistance to motion, which can impact their inertia. In high viscosity fluids, such as honey, the resistance to flow increases the inertia of the substance, making it harder to change its state of motion.


How would you define viscosity - index?

Viscosity index is a measure of how an oil's viscosity changes with temperature. Higher viscosity index oils are more resistant to changes in viscosity with temperature, making them perform more consistently across a range of temperatures.


Is viscosity a chemical or a physical change?

viscosity is a physical characteristic not a physical change. it is the thickness of a substancephysical changes would be if it turned from solid into a liquid.for example a chocolate bar goes through a physical change when it becomes melted chocolate.


How does heating a liquid affect the viscosity and why?

Heating a liquid typically decreases its viscosity because the increased temperature causes the liquid molecules to move more freely and reduces the internal friction between them. This leads to a decrease in the liquid's resistance to flow, making it less viscous.


Does the viscosity of petrol change?

Yes, the viscosity of petrol can change with temperature. As temperature increases, the viscosity of petrol decreases, making it flow more easily. Conversely, at lower temperatures, the viscosity of petrol increases, making it flow more slowly.


What could happen to earths surface if there was a change in the water cycle?

There could be change in the content of water. It will affect the level of water in the water bodies.


How does temperature affect viscosity of motor oil?

Yes. If the temperature changes enough, the viscosity of oil will change, too. Oil is designed to resist changes in viscosity with temperature changes, at least to a degree. But if the change (either hotter or colder) is extreme, then the viscocity will most certainly change. And, as you'd expect, as it gets hotter, the viscosity of oil decreases (it get thinner), and as it gets colder, the viscosity of oil increases (it gets thicker).


How does condensation affect weather?

A change in the amount of water vapor in the air affects humidity and that's how condensation affect the weather.
