What is the lava in the Andes called?

The lava in the Andes is typically referred to as Andesitic lava, due to its composition being rich in silica and forming characteristic volcanic landforms in the Andean region.


Does paricutin mafic or felsic lava?

Paricutin volcano in Mexico predominantly erupted mafic lava, which is rich in magnesium and iron and has a low silica content. This type of lava tends to flow more easily compared to felsic lava.


Infer which kind of lava Krakatau erupted and mdash lava rich in silica or lava low in silica. Support your inference using data in Table 1.?

Krakatau erupted lava that was rich in silica, as evidenced by its explosive eruption style, which is typically associated with higher silica content. High-silica lava tends to be more viscous, leading to pressure buildup and explosive volcanic activity, as seen in the 1883 eruption of Krakatau. If Table 1 indicates characteristics such as the eruption type or composition analysis supporting high viscosity or explosive behavior, this further supports the inference of silica-rich lava.


How is basaltic lava different from granitic lava?

Basaltic lava is far less viscous, has less silica, erupts at a higher temperature and is denser than granitic lava (properly called rhyolitic lava when it is on the surface). Basaltic lava is composed primarily of pyroxenes and calcium rich plagioclase with small amounts of olivine. Rhyolitic lava primarily contains alkali feldspars and quartz.

Both rhyolitic and basaltic lava flows have been found in the Yellowstone Caldera. There are alro large deposits of rhyolitic tuff.


What mafic is like?

Mafic is a silicate mineral or rock that is rich in magnesium and iron, and is usually dark in color. It is formed from cooling volcanic lava.


How do lava and ash make soil?

When lava and ash cool down it can decompose making soil. Most of the time it is very black because it is so rich and fertile. That is why the people on Hawaii live so close to a volcano, for the rich soil.


How do you use lava mafic and felsic in one sentence?

Lava can be classified into two main types: mafic lava, which is rich in magnesium and iron and tends to flow easily, creating broad shield volcanoes, and felsic lava, which is high in silica and more viscous, leading to explosive eruptions and the formation of stratovolcanoes.
