Yes. The same is true of any liquid.

What helps determine how easily magma flows?

could be physical boundaries or open water sources or maybe pits. Even the air pressure that built up under it can help push itThe ease of magma flow is known as the Viscosity, which is a measure of fluid a substance is. The viscosity of magma will be due to many factors including; the rock type in the volcano, and the temperature of the magma.


Which is not a characteristic of magma from an explosive eruption?

flows easily


Which is characteristic of the magma that formed the Hawaiian islands?

magma that is low in silica and flows easily


Is flows easily a physical property of magma from a explosive eruption?

no


What type of magma causes quiet volcanoes?

magma that is low on silica & thin and runny & it flows easily


Magma flows easily when it is low in?

silica content. High temperature and low silica content in magma allow for easier flow due to reduced viscosity. This type of magma often results in non-explosive volcanic eruptions with lava flows.


Which type of magma causes quiet volcanoes?

Mafic magma (low in silica content) typically causes quiet eruptions because it is less viscous and flows more easily, leading to gentle lava flows. These eruptions are characterized by low explosivity and can result in shield volcanoes or lava plateaus.


What type of magma is produced in the Kilauea?

Kilauea volcano typically produces tholeiitic basalt magma, which is low in silica content and flows easily. This type of magma is associated with shield volcanoes like Kilauea, known for their gentle eruptions and copious lava flows.


What type of magma does surtsey have?

Surtsey has basaltic magma, which is associated with the eruption of shield volcanoes. This type of magma is characterized by its low silica content and fluidity, allowing it to flow easily to the surface and form lava flows.


Which magma contains small amounts of silica and has a low what?

Basaltic magma contains small amounts of silica and has a low viscosity, meaning it is relatively fluid and flows easily.


What mineral that affects magma thickness?

The mineral that affects magma thickness is silica. Magma with high silica content tends to be more viscous, resulting in thicker magma. Conversely, magma with low silica content is less viscous and flows more easily.


What is a constructive boundarie?

At a constructive plate boundary two plates move apart. As they move apart the magma from the magma chamber flows up to fill the gap. This causes a volcano. However, as the magma can escape easily it flows down the volcano with only a little bit of force. So it has a gentle erupt.
