10. 1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions Factors that determine the violence of an eruption. • 1 - Composition of the magma • 2 - Temperature of the magma • 3 - Dissolved gases in the magma

10. 1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions Factors Affecting Eruptions Viscosity- is the measure

10. 1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions Factors Affecting Eruptions Viscosity- is the measure of a material's resistance to flow. • Factors affecting viscosity 1. Temperature 2. Composition A. High silica—high viscosity B. Low silica—more fluid

10. 1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions Factors Affecting Eruptions u Dissolved gases •

10. 1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions Factors Affecting Eruptions u Dissolved gases • Mainly water vapor and carbon dioxide • Provide the force to extrude lava - More Viscous magma produces a more violent eruption.

10. 1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions Volcanic Material u Lava Flows • Types

10. 1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions Volcanic Material u Lava Flows • Types of lava - Pahoehoe lava (resembles braids in ropes)

10. 1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions Volcanic Material u Pyroclastic Materials particles produced in volcanic eruptions.

10. 1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions Volcanic Material • Types of pyroclastic material

10. 1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions Volcanic Material • Types of pyroclastic material - Ash and dust—fine, glassy fragments - Pumice—, air-filled lava
