  2. Mt. Mayon, Philippines Mt. Fuji, Japan Mt. St. Helens Mt. Rainier “...anything that looks beautiful is potentially dangerous...” SIO15-15: Volcanoes: The Basics

  3. Lecture 3: resistance of material to flow � high viscosity: lava clogs vents -> explosive volcanism � low viscosity: lava flows easily -> effusive volcanism Image: S. Marshak “Earth, Portrait of a Planet” SIO15-15: Volcanoes: The Basics

  4. HIGHER TEMPERATURE SiO 2 MAKES LAVA DECREASES VISCOSITY MORE VISCOUS MORE VISCOUS � high-SiO 2 (Quartz) � cold LESS VISCOUS � low-SiO 2 (Olivine) � hot Image: S. Marshak “Earth, Portrait of a Planet” SiO 2 = silica SIO15-15: Volcanoes: The Basics
