Why does magma viscosity vary with silica content?
A) There is no correlation between silica content and magma viscosity. B) Increasing silica content increases the amount of water a magma can dissolve and water decreases magma viscosity, so increasing silica content decreases magma viscosity. C) Increasing silica increases a tendency for silica bonds to link up in networks, acting like a polymerization of the magma. D) Increasing silica content lowers the melting temperature and since increasing the temperature of a magma decreases viscosity increasing silica content increases viscosity.
