Question

2 matching 5 points match the characteristics of rhyolitic magma below. viscosity amount of gases temperature explosiveness amount of silica (silicon and oxygen)

Explanation:

Rhyolitic magma has high viscosity due to its high silica content. It has a high amount of gases trapped within. Its temperature is relatively low compared to other magmas. It is highly explosive because of the high gas - content and high viscosity. It has a high amount of silica.

Answer:

Viscosity: High
Amount of Gases: High
Temperature: Low
Explosiveness: High
Amount of Silica (Silicon and Oxygen): High
