Question

match the characteristics of basaltic magma below. amount of silica (silicon and oxygen) temperature explosiveness viscosity amount of gases intermediate low high low low

Explanation:

Basaltic magma has relatively low silica content (about 45 - 55%), high temperature (around 1000 - 1200°C), low explosiveness as it is less viscous allowing gases to escape easily, low viscosity enabling it to flow easily, and low amount of dissolved gases compared to some other magmas.

Answer:

Amount of Silica (Silicon and Oxygen): Low
Temperature: High
Explosiveness: Low
Viscosity: Low
Amount of Gases: Low
