Considering how magma composition, temperature, water content, and volatile content affect its viscosity, associate each of the volcanoes described in this activity with the type of eruption it should produce, or indicate whether the described characteristic is not related to eruption style.

Answer:

Explosive and effusive eruption types resulting from the activity of magma composition, temperature, water content and volatile content.

Step-by-step explanation:

Magma Silica content composition being above 60% will result in violent eruption. High temperature will result in low viscosity and low temperature in high viscosity. Explosive eruptions are propelled by magma and motivated by gaseous activity. Effusive is characterized with lava outflow without explosive activity. Examples of this effusive eruptions are those of the Hawaiian eruptions. Plinian eruptions are known to be explosive, violent and dangerous.
