Section 13-1 Review

Section 13-1 Review. Page #324:1-8. #1. Describe three conditions that affect whether magma forms. Magma forms when . . . . the temperature of the rock rises above the melting point of the minerals that compose it, . the pressure of the rock decreases faster than its temperature does, .

VISCOSITY

VISCOSITY. The resistance of material to flow the higher the viscosity, the less easily something (magma/lava) can flow Motor oil: Flagstaff vs. Phoenix hotter temps = lower viscosity oil lower temps = higher viscosity oil. Cinder cones/maars. Basalt Short lived (<10 years?)
