between 9 - 10% silica see: http://dspace.unimap.edu.my/bitstream/123456789/1173/1/ICOSM%202007%20(SUHARDY)-2.pdf
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is an extremely rare lung disease caused by inhaling fine silica dust found in volcanoes. Statistics on the annual incidence of this disease are not readily available, but it is considered one of the rarest lung diseases in the world.
Eastern Vasayas is a region in Philippines which is designated as Region VIII. It comprises of three islands. Leyte, Samar and Biliran Islands. Natural resources of the region includes salt, marine products, fresh water fish, chromite, uranium, gold, silver, magnesium, manganese, nickel, coal, limestone, bronze, and pyrite.
Stromboli has a 53 to 54% silica content on average.
The average silica content for granite is typically around 20-60%. Silicon dioxide, or silica, is a key component of granite, along with other minerals such as feldspar and quartz.
A'a lava has a generally low silica content. Having low silica content means that it also has a low viscosity level. Having a low viscosity level means that it flows easily.
Any metrial or thing which containts silica in it is call silica content..
Mt. Etna is a stratovolcano like Krakatoa and Mt. Vesuvius, therefore it has a high silica content. Though lava with a high silica content does not tend to travel very far away from the source; it can be a double edged sword as magma with a high silica content tends to trap gasses until it reaches a bursting point, ending in a massive eruption.
low silica content (basaltic magma)
low silica content (basaltic magma)
No, magma with a silica content of 50 percent is more felsic, while magma with a silica content of 70 percent is more mafic. Silica content is inversely proportional to magma's mafic or felsic classification.
Granite has more silica than basalt in it.
Lava with high silica content tends to be more viscous and flow more slowly, leading to explosive eruptions. In contrast, lava with low silica content is less viscous and flows more easily, resulting in gentler, effusive eruptions.
The silica content. A higher silica content results in a more viscous magma.
No, gabbro has a lower silica content than granite. Gabbro is classified as a mafic rock with silica content ranging from 45-52%, while granite is a felsic rock with higher silica content ranging from 65-75%.
