What are runny and sticky lava?

Runny lava contains low amounts of silicon, whereas sticky lava contains high amounts of silicon.


What is lava rich in?

Lava is rich in minerals such as silicon, oxygen, aluminum, iron, magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium. The specific composition can vary depending on the type of volcano and where the lava originates from.


What is lava made of?

Lava is a 'soup' of molten rock, consisting of varying amounts of mineral constituents such as silicon, potassium magnesium, aluminum, oxygen, iron, and calcium.


Is silica stone a lava stone?

No. Silica is silicon dioxide, a chemical compound found in most rocks on Earth.


What is fluid lava?

Fluid lava refers to lava that has a low viscosity, meaning it flows easily. This type of lava is typically found in shield volcanoes and can travel long distances from the volcanic vent before cooling and solidifying. Fluid lava eruptions are typically less explosive compared to those with more viscous lava.


What do granit and basalt have in common?

They are both lithospheric igneous rocks formed by the cooling and solidification of magma/lava and both of them contains silicon.


Material found in magma that formed from oxygen and silicon?

Silica yes! because when lava from the magma chamber rises toward the top of the volcano the lava or silica it depends on the hot ness of high silica or low silica!!!! :D


How do you make n-type silicon?

N-type silicon is made by doping silicon with elements such as phosphorus or arsenic, which have an extra electron in their outer shell. This extra electron makes the silicon material negatively charged, hence creating an n-type semiconductor. The doping process involves introducing these donor atoms into the silicon crystal lattice during manufacturing.


Does lava have large or small crystals?

Rocks formed from lava (known as extrusive igneous rocks, because the lava comes to the surface) can be any size - large or small. However, the density of the rock and the size of the crystals making up the rock is informative. Less "thick" (viscous) lava will produce higher-density rocks. The more silicon is contained in the lava/rocks, the thicker it will be. Thinner lava contains more iron and less silicon. The faster a lava cools, the smaller the crystals in the rock will be. By using crystal size in minerals, geologists can determine how fast the lava cooled, which helps to determine the type of eruption and the surface conditions when it occurred.


What are the ingredients in lava?

Lava primarily consists of molten rock, which is a mixture of minerals like silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, iron oxide, and calcium oxide. These minerals make up the solid matter that melts and forms lava when heated to extreme temperatures inside the Earth's mantle. Additionally, gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide can also be present in lava.

How many elements make sand?

The preponderance of the elements in sand are silicon or oxygen, with twice as many oxygen atoms as silicon atoms. In naturally occurring sand, some impurities with additional elements as iron are usually present in small amounts.
