If bubbles cannot escape easily from a magma, the resulting eruption is likely to:
A) be explosive
B) be nonexplosive
C) produce long, thin lava flows
Explosive
Characterized by a sudden and forceful release of energy, often with the generation of high temperatures and the release of gases.
Nonexplosive
Characterizing volcanic eruptions or events that release magma, gas, and ash in a relatively gentle and steady manner.
Thin Lava Flows
Layers of lava that spread out over large areas and cool to form relatively thin sheets of rock.
- Understand the importance of magma viscosity and gas content in defining the characteristics of volcanic eruptions.
