Juli2301 [7.4K]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The two primary factors that impact how a well of lava will eject are consistency and gas content. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Both are identified with the arrangement of the magma. </em>Hawaiian volcanoes will in general emit basalt , which is low in consistency and low in gas content (about 0.5 weight percent).

The higher the level of silica substance of magma, the more thick it is. <em>Since a magma with less silica substance is moderately liquid and has a high capacity to stream (low consistency)</em>
