Question
this image shows a volcanic eruption in hawaii with lava flowing into the sea. which statement best describes this eruption? its magma is high in silica. its magma has low viscosity. its gases are released in rapid bursts. its lava came from an explosive eruption.
Hawaiian volcanic eruptions are effusive (non-explosive) eruptions. These involve magma with low silica content, which leads to low viscosity—allowing lava to flow easily, as seen in the image where lava moves into the sea. High silica magma is thick and causes explosive eruptions, rapid gas bursts, and explosive lava release, which do not match the depicted scene.
