If you have quiet eruption what kind of silica do you have?

If an eruption is quiet, it typically indicates that the magma has low viscosity due to high silica content. The high silica content causes the magma to be more fluid, allowing gases to escape easily and resulting in a gentle eruption with less explosive activity.


Why is magma that contains little silica less to erupt explosively?

Magma with less silica is thinner and runnier.Therfore, gases can move out of the magma easily.


What is the relationship between silica or water content of magma and materials ejected from an volcano?

The concentration of silica and water content in magma influence the force with which it is ejected from a volcano. The higher the levels of water and other gasses as well as the more silica it contains, the more explosive the eruption will be.


Why is magma that contains little silica less likely erupt explosively?

Magma with less silica is thinner and runnier.Therfore, gases can move out of the magma easily.


How can the composition of magma affect the way volcano erupts?

If the composition of the magma is high in silica, the eruption will be explosive. The Eruption of Mt. St. Helens was an explosive eruption. If the composition of the magma is low in silica, it will produce a quiet eruption. The eruption(s) of Mt. Kilauea are quiet eruptions.

Does Pinatubo have silicia?

The magma of all volcanoes contains silica. The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo involved dacite magma, which has a high silica composition.


How does magma composition and the resulting eruption affect the form of a volcano?

If the composition of the magma is high in silica, the eruption will be explosive. The Eruption of Mt. St. Helens was an explosive eruption. If the composition of the magma is low in silica, it will produce a quiet eruption. The eruption(s) of Mt. Kilauea are quiet eruptions.
