1. How do you think the location of a volcano affects the magma composition?

2. Which magma composition causes the most violent volcanic eruptions? Why?

3. Describe how magma composition and the resulting eruption affect the form of a volcano.

Respuesta :

Answer:

As given below.

Explanation:

  • Location of magma in the surface of the earth is affected by the arrangement of geomaterial in the interior of the earth and places near the ridges see a large volcanic eruption and have high rising mountains and all this is due the presence of magma inside the earth and bulge in the volcanoes can clearly show its presence.
  • Generally, magma is composed of silica, iron and magnesium and calcium contents and has a high gas content the explosive nature of the volcanoes is a significant factor in the thickness of the lava.
  • The viscosity of lava and magma is dependent on the long-lasting temperature and pressure as high-density lava can be found basalt then Andesite and then Rhyolite with the presence of water and carbon contents.
  • Felsic lava is more viscous and erupts more violently than the mafic lavas which erupt effusively thus have a difference in the characteristic formation of volcanoes.
