When using magma and water to create energy the magma's heat turns the water into what?

When magma heats water, it turns the water into steam. The steam can then be used to drive turbines connected to generators, which ultimately produce electricity. This process is known as geothermal energy production.


What Magma and lava can both solidify to produce?

They are both the same thing, which is melted rock, which means they solidify to form rock. The only difference between magma and lava is that magma is underground, and lava is not.


What type of magma will produce explosive eruptions?

Magma with high silica content (felsic magma) tends to produce explosive eruptions because it is more viscous and traps gases, leading to pressure build-up before they are released explosively. This type of magma commonly forms in subduction zones where oceanic plates are being subducted beneath continental plates.


Is it true that magma that is low in silica usually forms light colored rocks?

Magma doesn't produce lava. Magma is lava. Magma is called magma when it is under the ground but when it is released via a volcano it is called lava when it is above ground. The magma or lava can produce dark to light color rocks after it cools depending on the composition of the magma or lava. There is also a range in the color of the lava depending on it composition and temperature also.


Type of magma containing a lot of silica and water vapor?

Rhyolitic magma typically contains a high amount of silica and water vapor. It is known for its high viscosity and tendency to produce explosive eruptions due to the buildup of gas pressure within the magma chamber.

Is there magma on Mars?

No. Mars has cooled so that i can no longer produce magma.


How can magma be a source of energy?

Magma can be a source of energy through geothermal power plants, which harness the heat from magma beneath the Earth's surface to generate electricity. This process involves tapping into the high temperatures of magma to produce steam, which then drives turbines connected to generators to create electricity.


When using magma and water to create energy the magma's heat turns the water into?

Steam is produced. The steam pressure can be used to drive turbine or piston driven electrical generators.

How is magma used to generate electricity?

Magma is molten rock under the earth's crust. In geothermal power plants, water is pumped underground. It turns into steam which is then used to drive electricity generators.
