(VISCOSITY) factors that affect viscosity of magma Flashcards
It’s is the resistance of a liquid to flow
Viscosity
Less viscous is _________, water for example
faster
More viscous is ___________, like oil
slower
It produced more bubble gas or moves faster as the bubbles move to the surface
Less viscous
More powerful explosions caused they can block gas from escaping and pressure is building up.
More Viscous
What are the 4 factors that affect viscosity of magma?
Temperature, Composition, Gas Content, Pressure
it is the factor that involves thermal/kinetic energy.
Temperature
In temperature, what is the viscosity of high temperature
low viscosity
In temperature, what is the viscosity of low temperature
high viscosity
In composition, the silica content is less. so the viscosity is ______
less viscosity
In composition, the silica content is more. so the viscosity is ______
more viscosity
In gas content, more gas is _________viscosity
less viscosity
In gas content, less gas means it’s ________ viscosity
more viscosity
In pressure, more pressure is _________ viscous
more viscous
in pressure, less pressure means
less viscosity
