• Magma is a mixture of melted rock and hot gasses.
• Not all magma is the same:1. the kind of melted rock; and2. the amount of gas in the magma; make different types of magma.
![Page 3: Magma is a mixture of melted rock and hot gasses](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc31a28abf838ca53f7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• The amount of silica (quartz crystals) in the rock from which magma is made effects the viscosity or thickness.
![Page 4: Magma is a mixture of melted rock and hot gasses](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc31a28abf838ca53f7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• The amount of silica (quartz crystals) in the rock from which magma is made effects the viscosity or thickness.
• More silica (quartz) in the magma makes it thicker or higher viscosity.

• BASALTIC – made from oceanic crust and mantle material, so it has low silica content.
![Page 6: Magma is a mixture of melted rock and hot gasses](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc31a28abf838ca53f7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• BASALTIC – made from oceanic crust and mantle material, so it has low silica content.
• Low silica content means low viscosity, thinner magma.

• BASALTIC – made from oceanic crust and mantle material, so it has low silica content.
• Low silica content means low viscosity, thinner magma.
• Makes quiet volcanoes, like Hawaiian Islands, Iceland, Africa.

• The amount of water in the rock also determines whether a volcano is quiet or explosive.
![Page 12: Magma is a mixture of melted rock and hot gasses](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc31a28abf838ca53f7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• The amount of water in the rock also determines whether a volcano is quiet or explosive.
• More water in the rock makes it easier to melt.
![Page 13: Magma is a mixture of melted rock and hot gasses](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc31a28abf838ca53f7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• The amount of water in the rock also determines whether a volcano is quiet or explosive.
• More water in the rock makes it easier to melt.
• The water also turns to water vapor, which builds up as gas bubbles.
