Answer:

A volcano with basaltic magma would probably not erupt, but remain in the magma chamber and cool .

Explanation:

   There are three main types of magma, according to the silica (SiO2) content - basaltic magma, andesitic magma and rhyolitic magma.

  Basaltic magmas, originating from the melting of mantle rocks, contain about 50% silica and a low content of dissolved gases. This type of magma is essentially expelled along rifts and ocean-level hot spots. Their constitution varies, depending on the environmental constraints in which they are generated, such as pressure and temperature. These magmas are characterized by the viscosity - related to density, silica richness, temperature and the amount of fluid they contain - which determines their rate of ascent.

  When basaltic magmas accumulate in magmatic chambers, at depths of 10 to 30 km, they solidify and give rise to plutonic rocks such as gabbro. When basaltic magmas rise faster than they cool, they solidify and form volcanic rocks, such as basalts.

Why did scientists FIRST hypothesize that a meteorite impact caused the extinction at the K-Pg Boundary?
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

They found evidence of an impact crater in Mexico

Explanation:

The K-Pg boundary is the boundary that separates two periods, but also two eras. The two periods that are separated by this boundary are the Cretaceous and the Tertiary, while the two eras are the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic. The boundary is marked by a mass extinction, and the scientists started to hypothesize as to why it happened. There were numerous different theories, but a clue in Mexico, or rather right next to the Yucatan Peninsula, shed new light on it. The scientists found an impact crater, formed either by a large asteroid or a comet. Such an impact would have easily caused sudden and drastic changes on the Earth, killing of the majority of the species. This impact released such a big amount of energy that it killed everything in the surrounding area in seconds. On top of that, it caused an extremely hot wave of air across the whole planet, killing many more organisms. It managed to trigger most of the volcanoes to erupt, as well as the earthquakes, causing also very large tsunamis. The sunlight got blocked for quite some time from all the aerosols in the atmosphere as well. This resulted in a mass extinction of the dominant species, like the dinosaurs, but it opened up the terrain for the evolution of the others, like the mammals.
