Contrast the silica content of magma in quiet and explosive eruptions

1 answer:

3 0

Magma in quiet eruptions has a low content in silica , while in explosive eruptions, it has a high Content in silica. A volcano that erupts quietly has magma that is low in silica. Low-silica magma has low viscosity and flows easily. A volcano that erupts explosively has magma that is high in silica. High-silica magma has high viscosity, making it thick and sticky, thus it flows slowly.

Determine which set of properties correctly describes copper (Cu)?

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

D. Malleable, conducts electricity, high melting point, giant structure, metallic lattice

Explanation:

Copper is a metal with an atomic number of 29. This metal is soft and reddish in color which explains why it is very malleable(beaten to form various shapes without breaking).

All metals are good conductors of electricity including copper which is also a metal. Metals generally are insoluble in water. Copper also has a high melting point which is a characteristic of metals due to their giant structure and metallic lattice which makes it difficult to be broken down.
