EES Exam 2 Questions and answers. Latest Update. Verified. Is all volcanic activity violent and explosive? - -No What is magma? - -Melted rock material How does magma vary? - -It varies in composition. Some can have more silica than others. Silica content - -Silica makes magma more viscous because silica tetrahedra link together. Gas content - -Different dissolved gases, such as H2O and CO2, can control how a volcano erupts. What is the difference between rhyolitic and basalt...
