Question
question 10 not yet answered points out of 5 flag question the viscosity of magma is directly related to: select one: a. the depth at which it is created b. its silica content c. the size of vent through which it erupts d. the age of the overlying rock
Brief Explanations
Magma's viscosity is mainly determined by its silica content. Higher silica - rich magma has higher viscosity as the silica chains can impede the flow of magma. Depth, vent size, and age of overlying rock do not directly determine viscosity.
