explosiveness _____________+ gases = carbon dioxide, water

vapor, sulfur oxide, sulfuric acid Water vapor determines _________ magma forms Water vapor ______________ melting temperature

Composition________________ = Resistance to flow Temperature & silica content affect ____________ High viscosity = __________ magma High silica = _____________ & sticky

Traps gases, produces explosive eruptions Low silica = __________ & runny

Flow easily, produce quiet, non-explosive eruptions

Types of Magma - Basaltic Less then __________ silica content __________-viscosity magma Gas ____________ escapes ______________ eruptions Ex: Kilauea & Mauna Loa
