Scientists measure which element in order to classify magma?

Scientists measure the silica content in magma to classify it into different types based on its composition. The silica content determines the magma's viscosity, which impacts how easily gases can escape and influences the type of volcanic eruption that may occur.


Is magma an element of its own?

No

Does magma erode igneous rocks inside a volcano?

In a way. A magma is hotter then the surrounding rock, that's why the magma is molten and the rock is not. But because of this, some heat of the magma is melting the surrounding rock. You might want to classify this as erosion, but it's simply the melting of the rock surrounding the magma.


What is the relationship between magma and element?

How do youCompute the partition coefficient in a magma?

The ratio of the concentration (by weight) of an element (e.g. Ti) in a crystallizing mineralto its concentration in the magma. For example, KTi = [Ti]min./[Ti]magma, where kTi is the partition coefficient for Ti, and [Ti]min. and [Ti]magma are the concentrations of Ti in the mineral and magma respectively. The value of k is dependent on temperature, pressure and the composition of crystallizing mineral and magma.


What mainly determines the viscosity of a magma?

Viscosity is the measure of a liquids resistance to flow. In the case of magma, the hotter it is, the lower the viscosity.
