Activity 2 A. Factors Affecting Volcanic Eruptions Direction: Modified true or false. Write me if the statentent is right, and if is false write the correct word or term on the underlived words on the space provided.
______1. Highly explosive volcanoes tend to have tregtia wiu, sigh silica, high viscosity, and higher gas content ______2. A magma's viscosity is directly related to its silica content. The more silica in lava the less viscosity it has ______3. The higher the temperature of magma is, the lower is its viscosity. ______4. When dissolved gases are high, presswe is high, volcanic eruptions are gentle.
______ 5. If the temperature of lava increases, the viscosity increases. ______6. High viscosity magma las lesser amount of silica.
______7. When dissolved gases are low, pressure is low, and volcanic eruptions are quiet.
______8. Magmas with high silica content are less viscous than those with low silica content.
_______9. When magma has low viscosity, it has small amount of silica. ______10. Temperature of magma and composition of silica are factors affecting volcanic eruptions.
