What term is used to desribe magma that is rich in feldspars and silica?
energy
What term is used to describe magma that is rich in feldspars and silica?
Felsic magma. This type of magma is viscous with high silica content, resulting in explosive eruptions and the formation of light-colored rocks.
What type of magma produces violent reaction?
Acidic lava is very viscous, and thus will harden and block the vent. The magma will force its way out through the vent and create a violent explosion.
Is rhyolite silica rich or silica poor?
Rhyolite is silica-rich, containing over 70% silica. It is an extrusive igneous rock with a fine-grained texture that forms from the rapid cooling of magma rich in silica content.
What is Krakatoa a silica rich or a silica poor?
Krakatoa is silica-rich, meaning it contains a high amount of silicon dioxide (silica) in its composition. This high silica content is associated with explosive volcanic eruptions due to the interaction between silica and magma.

What magma is silica-rich thick magma?
An acid magma or a granitic magma.
What kind of silica do strato volcanos have?
silica-rich magma
What are silica rich and thick magma is what?
Silica is sand dust.
What type of magma produces violent reaction?
Acidic lava is very viscous, and thus will harden and block the vent. The magma will force its way out through the vent and create a violent explosion.
What color is silica rich magma?
red or scarlet
Is granitic magma very silica-rich.?
Yes
Is rhyolite silica rich or silica poor?
Rhyolite is silica-rich, containing over 70% silica. It is an extrusive igneous rock with a fine-grained texture that forms from the rapid cooling of magma rich in silica content.
Do silica-rich magma cause explosive eruptions?
yes
Silica-rich magma erupts from the shield volcanoes giving them there broad flat shape?
False. The magma of shield volcanoes is silica-poor.
Why is silica rich magma explosive?
This is because silica-rich magma is thicker. The thicker the magma, the chance for the dissolved gas in there to escape is less likely. This causes an explosion. When the gases do escape, they cause an even bigger explosion
