What is the average silica content for granite?

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.


What is the average silica content of a'a lava?

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.


What does silica content?

What is the silica content of magma?

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.


What is silica content of magma that has a low viscosity?

low silica content (basaltic magma)


What is the silica content of magma that has low viscosity?

Does magma having a silica content of 50 percent is more mafic than one having a silica content of 70 percent?

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.


Which rock has more silica granite or basalt?

Granite has more silica than basalt in it.


What is the behavior of lava with silica content being high and low?

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.


What is a magmas viscosity related to?

The silica content. A higher silica content results in a more viscous magma.


Does gabbro have a higher silica content than granite?

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%.
