Answer:

A. Highly viscous and associated with violent eruptions

Explanation:

Most silica rich magma have high viscosity and huge amount of trapped gases within them. As they continue to upwell and expand, the gases causes violent eruptions near Volcanoes. Most granitic/rhyolitic magma are silica rich.

Answer: Option (A)

Explanation: Silica rich magma are those in which the magma has more than 65 % of silica content. The higher the silica content, the higher is its viscosity i.e viscosity of a magma is directly proportional to the silica content of magma.

This highly viscous magma inside the volcanoes moves sluggishly and mostly gets concentrated in the vents and seals them. With time, when the pressure exerted by the magma is too high, it creates violent eruptions through the vents.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Answer:

thermoset

Explanation:

A thermoset material is a polymer that is irreversibly hardened by curing. Curing is induced by heat and cannot be undone because the polymers cross link during the process, creating permanent chemical bonds.

Normal force is exerted _____to the surface of an object.

Elanso [62]

The normal force is always (underline, bold) is always perpendicular to the surface an object is sitting on. If the object is on an inclined plane, then the normal will not be vertical but it will be perpendicular to the angle of the incline.

The diagram below (left) shows a normal force (GH) that is not vertical, but it is perpendicular to the surface. The object on the right is the more usual normal a mass on a table top.

The vertical line on the right is the normal and it points up.

How would electron domains impact the magnetism of the substance?

Vanyuwa [196]

Magnetic domain structure is responsible for the magnetic behavior of ferromagnetic materials like iron, nickel, cobalt and their alloys, and ferrimagnetic materials like ferrite. ... Magnetic domains form in materials which have magnetic ordering; that is, their dipoles spontaneously align due to the exchange interaction.
