The principal factor(s) influencing upward magma migration before cooling is (are): the magmatic water content. the magmatic gas content, combined with magma viscosity.
the climate and temperature regime that affects the land surrounding the volcano.
the time since the last eruption, combined with the density of the rocks overlying the volcano - CORRECT
ANSWER B
A volcano can spew several kinds of gases into the air, but most of the gas is: water vapor and carbon dioxide. nitrogen and sulfur dioxide. sulfur dioxide and chlorine. nitrogen and carbon dioxide. - CORRECT ANSWER A
