19The viscosity of magma generally decreases with silica content.
- ATrue
- BFalse
20The difference between basaltic and granitic magma is...
- AGranitic magma has low silica content and thus cools faster underground, Basaltic magma has high silica content and is more likely to erupt at the surface.
- BBasaltic magma has low silica content and thus cools faster underground, Granitic magma has high silica content and is more likely to erupt at the surface.
21The temperature at which a mineral melts is roughly the same as the temperature at which it crystallizes.
- ATrue
- BFalse
22Bowen's binary reaction series shows...
- AThat minerals melt and crystallize at the same temperature.
- BThat minerals have the same crystallization temperatures, but as the magma cools the composition changes due to it being either basaltic or granitic magma.
- CThat different minerals have different crystallization temperatures, and thus crystallize in a sequence as magma cools and its composition changes.
23Label the intrusions.

26The higher the silica content ...
- Athe higher the viscosity
- Bthe lower the viscosity
27The eruptive style of a shield volcano is ...
- Aeffusive, because it has a high silica content and is thus, less viscous
- Beffusive, because it has a low silica content and is thus, less viscous
- Ceruptive, because it has a low silica content and is thus, less viscous
- Deruptive, because it has a high silica content and is thus, less viscous
