Choose the magma type which is most viscous: basaltic andesitic rhyolitic

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Rhyolitic magma is the most viscous and rhyolite is the volcanic equivalent of granite. In the case of Rhyolitic magma, the silica content is more than 65%. This type of magma generally forms because of the wet melting of continental crust. This magma when traps gas in it or it comes in contact with water, then it becomes highly explosive and violent, producing a large amount of pyroclastic materials. It leads to the production of rocks such as Pumice along with other ash deposits.

Thus, the Rhyolitic type of magma is highly viscous.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
Answer 2
Answer: This question is probably from Oddessyware or QDA  I just had the same question. The answer is rhyolitic because it is high in viscous, Silica content, gas content, and explosiveness.

What are the names of the large three peninsulas that extend off of europe?

Answers

Answer:

The three large peninsulas extending off of Europe are the Iberian Peninsula, Italian Peninsula, and the Balkan Peninsula.

Explanation:

  • The Europe continent is a 'peninsula of peninsulas'. Which means a bigger piece of land covered by 'water on three sides' and is constituted by smaller pieces of land which are also covered by 'water on three sides'.
  • It is a peninsular landmass that is made up of other subsidiary peninsulas stretching out of the main peninsula.
  • The European continent is covered by water on three sides both on the northern front and the southern front.
  • It is covered by water on almost all the sides but is still connected to a larger piece of land.
  • The three of the major peninsulas in Europe are the 'Iberian Peninsula', 'the Balkan Peninsula' and 'the Italian Peninsula' which are all on the southern side of the European continent.
