- Q7Volcanic event that can be created when magma is very thick, and clog up a volcano, stopping gases from erupting, leading to a buildup of pressure. often levels of silica and trapped water vapor are very high, causing high viscosityexplosive eruptionlavasilicaquiet eruption30sEditDelete
- Q8occurs when magma flows easily and gently bubbles out, the lava is thin and runny as it oozes out quietly from the vent. This type of magma has a low amount of trapped water vapor and silica, which allows the magma to flow easilyventquiet eruptionexplosive eruptioncrater30sEditDelete
