Asked in Eyjafjallajökull Volcano
Would the typemagma mean the Eyjafjallajokull Volcano has high medium or low in viscosity?
Asked in Paleontology, Volcanoes
What is viscosity of magma?
Viscosity refers to the amount of internal friction in a substance which affects the ease with which it flows. Magma has a wide range of viscosity depending on the composition of the magma. The viscosity increases as the silica content changes from basalt to rhyolite. The more viscous a magma is, the slower it flows.
Asked in Science
What happens to the magma as it flows up towards Earth's surface?
Asked in Volcanoes, Scientists
What is the viscosity of magma in a pyroclastic flow?
Asked in Chemistry, Volcanoes, Plate Tectonics
What helps determine how easily magma flows?
could be physical boundaries or open water sources or maybe pits. Even the air pressure that built up under it can help push it The ease of magma flow is known as the Viscosity, which is a measure of fluid a substance is. The viscosity of magma will be due to many factors including; the rock type in the volcano, and the temperature of the magma.
