What does the amount of silica in a volcanos magma determine about its eruption?
If a volcano's magma is high in silica, the volcano will probably erupt explosively. If the magma is not high in silica, the volcano will probably erupt quietly.
What kind of silica do strato volcanos have?
silica-rich magma
What causes the difference between quiet and exploses eruptions?
It depends on how much silica is in the magma. If there is low-silica in the magma then the volcano will erupt quietly. If there is high-silica in the magma then the volcano will erupt explosively.
What is common of volcanos that have most violent eruptions?
They feature magma with very high silica content.
What type of volcano has magma that contains large volumes of gases but not silica and water?
The most explosive type of volcano, which is the type that has water, is called a boiler volcano. All active volcanoes have magma, and emit carbon dioxide. Magma can contain silica.
Why is magma with high levels of silica explosive?
The more silica the volcano has, the more the pressure is occurring and eventually it becomes so strong that the volcano erupts .
Why does volacanos erupt or explode?
well in volcanoes is magma, which when it is no longer in the volcano, is lava. and when a volcano is explosive, in the magma is silica. and silica makes the magma really sticky and thick. in a volcano, the magma comes out of vents at the top. and when magma with silica tries to comes out, it gunks up the vents to where they are clogged and nothing can get out of them. so when this happens, pressures pushes hard to try and get the magma out. then it pushes REALLY hard and it comes out even bigger and destructively! but when there is no silica in the magma, the magma just drizzles out of a volcano but its nonexplosive. hope this helps. and i know this is true. we just learned it in science class. I'm 11 years old but i am certain this is the correct accusation.
What are some characteristics of the magma of a shield volcano?
Magma needs a some sort of level of silica and gas.
Where is a volcanos magma chamber?
a volcanoes magma chamber is at the bottom of the inside of the volcano, just at the botton of the tunnel shooting lava
What conditions make for a violent volcano eruptions?
magma and high silica content
What triggerred the iceland volcano?
the conduit feeds the magma to the surface and the volcano eruptes because of the weather or the volcanos figure was trapped.
What is the relationship between silica or water content of magma and materials ejected from an volcano?
The concentration of silica and water content in magma influence the force with which it is ejected from a volcano. The higher the levels of water and other gasses as well as the more silica it contains, the more explosive the eruption will be.
