A) If you witness a highly explosive volcanic eruption, its chemistry would higher in silica minerals and lower in temperature
B) If you witness a flowing, running lava eruption in Hawaii, its chemistry would be lower in silica and higher in temperature
C) The higher temperature for mafic lavas help decrease its density and prevent silica minerals from forming
D) All of the above are true statements

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All the statements provided are true. Statement A correctly identifies the characteristics of explosive volcanic eruptions, which are typically high in silica and lower in temperature compared to more fluid eruptions. Statement B accurately describes the nature of Hawaiian lava flows, which are low in silica and high in temperature, making them more fluid. Statement C correctly explains the relationship between temperature, density, and silica content in mafic lavas.
