What the same about silica rich and silica poor magma?
Silica is a natural element found within the Earth's crust. There are several different types of it. Silica gets inside magma when a volcano forms. During the formation, the magma from deep inside the Earth pushes its way up to the surface. As it progresses upward, it passes through the continental crust, or layer of crust below Earth's continents. Silica is abundant in that area. While the magma is in the continental crust, even if only for a little while, it mixes with the silica. Some parts of the continental crust aren't quite as plentiful in silica as others. Depending on the amount of silica mixed with the magma, the magma can become 'silica-rich', or have sufficient amounts of silica. This lavish amount of silica in the magma makes the magma thick and pasty. Then, when the volcano goes to erupt, the magma gets stuck in the caldera, or crater hole in the top of the volcano, because of its thickness. Pressure builds up behind the plugged exit, as more gas and magma yearns to escape. Eventually, this pressure builds up SO much that the magma cork gives way, allowing all the gases and lava to burst out of the volcano in a GIGANTIC eruption. This is why an explosive eruption has so much smoke, from the gas build-up inside of the volcano. Quiet eruptions don't because there is no gas pressure to stop the thin magma from leaking out of the hot spot/volcano. In conclusion, silica creates a thick magma. This results in a plugged caldera. Gas pressure within the volcano then builds up because of the thick magma cork. When the cork gives way, a HUGE eruption results, releasing all the gases and smoke. Hope that this explanation helped!
What are rocks that form when layers of rock particles are squeezed or stuck together?
Sedimentary rocks form when layers of rock particles are compacted or cemented together over time. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
How many people were stuck abroad due to the icelandic volcano eruption?
During the 2010 Icelandic volcano eruption, an estimated 10 million travelers were affected by flight cancellations and travel disruptions, with hundreds of thousands stranded abroad for various lengths of time. The volcano ash cloud led to the closure of European airspace, causing widespread travel chaos.
The movement of rock along a fault is called?
Tectonic movement. The outer crust of the Earth is made up of huge masses called plates. These plates are actually floating on the molten rock (magma) underneath them. (Magma is the stuff that spews out of erupting volcanoes) When tectonic plates temporarily get stuck against eachother and then suddenly release, we experience an earthquake.
Can hot spring fill with magma and become so hot that they Scorch bathers?
Yes, they can! They can become so HOT that even if you stuck one finger a part of your body it would put whelps on you and hurt you bad. If you were in one when it became hotter, when magma filled it you would most likely die. Watch Dante's Peak as a reference.
Why does a runny volcano not explode?
The explosive force of an explosive eruption comes from gasses trapped in the magma. Runny magma does not hold gasses very well, and so those gasses escape before the magma erupts. The runny magma can also easily flow to the surface without getting stuck and having to be blown out, unlike thicker types of magma.
Why doesn't a volcano mountain explode everyday if the lava is always hot?
There are several reasons. First, there isn't always magma (what lava is called when it is underground). The magma is usually trapped far below the volcano, unless the volcano is erupting or about to erupt. Second, heat alone cannot create an explosion. An explosion requires rapid expansion. Explosive volcanic eruptions occur when gas trapped in the magma is suddenly released as pressure on the magma decreases, or when water flash boils on contact with lava or magma. If there is no gas, and no water, there cannot be an explosive eruption. Third, the kinds of magma most likely to cause explosive eruptions are very viscous, meaning they do not flow very easily. As a result, they tend to get "stuck." Finally, the poper term is "erupt" not "explode" as not all eruptions are explosive. If there is not enough gas the volcano will ooze out lava rather than causing an explosion.
What is the process of pressing sediments called?
The process of pressing sediments together to form solid rock is called compaction. It occurs when layers of sediment accumulate on top of each other, with the weight of the overlying layers causing the sediments to be pressed tightly together.
How do you make a sentence with stuck?
The lock was stuck. Stuck in the snow, I called a tow truck.
Is there a word called sticked?
No it's stuck-like stuck out
What do you do if you get stuck in the volcano on Astro Knights Island?
There is no way around, and you must beat every obstacle in order to complete the game. With practice, you should find the necessary timing to get past the airflow in the volcano.

What is in sedimentary rocks?
a type of rock formed by layers of sediments that were squeezed and stuck together over a long time
What is it called when foods gets stuck in the trachea of the lungs?
they are called foreign bodies.
Why are Olmecs called The Mother of Civilization?
Alot of people called them that so they stuck to it.
Why are the olmec called the mother civilization?
Alot of people called them that so they stuck to it.
What is the longest anyone as ever been stuck in an airport terminal?
i duno but its proble a day or more due to the iceland volcano ☻!
