Granitic magma is highly viscous, meaning it has a high resistance to flow. Granitic magma does not reach the surface very often. It cools underground, thus we have granite. If granitic magma actually reaches the surface it would result in a highly explosive eruption.

Is granite and basalt found in volcanoes?

Yes, both granite and basalt can be found in volcanoes. Basalt is a common type of volcanic rock formed from the rapid cooling of lava, while granite can be present in volcanic environments due to magma cooling and crystallizing beneath the Earth's surface before being exposed through volcanic activity.

What type of volcanic eruption depends on the amount of gases and the composition?

The type of volcanic eruption depends on the amount of gases and the composition of magma. In addition to the composition of the magma, the volcanic eruption depends on the ration of sulfur, carbon dioxide, and water the magma contains.

What are the two factors that affect the explosiveness of a a volcanic eruption?

The explosiveness of a volcanic eruption is largely influenced by the magma's composition and the amount of trapped gases within it. Magma with high viscosity and gas content tends to lead to more explosive eruptions, as the gases can build up pressure within the magma chamber until they are forcefully released.
