The viscosity is also dependent on temperature. Higher Temperature results in lower viscosities typically, i.e more runny.

What 3 factors determine magma viscosity?

The three elements that determine viscosity in magma are:TemperatureSilicaOxides (gases)Viscosity changes the way in which magma will flow. Magma with low viscosity will flow much more easily than high viscosity magma.


What is a magma's viscosity directly related to?

A magma's viscosity is directly related to its temperature and silica content. Higher temperature and lower silica content typically result in lower viscosity, making the magma more fluid and runny. Conversely, lower temperature and higher silica content lead to higher viscosity, resulting in a thicker, more sticky magma.


Magma viscosity is directly related to what?

silica content


Where does the viscosity of magma depends?

1. Chemical Composition of the magma. 2. Concentration of the melt. 3. Presence of Volatiles. 4. Amount of Water present in the magma.


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 a magmas viscosity related to?

The silica content. A higher silica content results in a more viscous magma.


What mineral determines magma viscosity?

A magma's viscosity is directly related to its degree of silica content.


A magmas viscosity is directly related to its?

A magma's viscosity is directly related to its temperature and silica content. Higher temperatures and lower silica content result in lower viscosity, making the magma more fluid and able to flow more easily.


What is relationship between silica content and viscosity?

magma that has more silica is more viscous


What is the difference in silica content and viscosity between light color and dark colored magma?

The lower the viscosity is the hotter the magma is and faster it flows.Higher the viscosity is the cooler it is and slower it flows down.
