which one of the following shows the correct order (from left to right) of decreasing magma viscosity? (remember that viscosity is resistance to flow, so you should pick the answer that has the most viscous lava type on the left, and the least viscous [most runny] on the right.)

Respuesta :

The correct answer is option A.

The correct order of decreasing magma viscosity is granite, andesite, and basalt.

What do you know about magma viscosity?

In solid rocks, magma viscosity is defined as the resistance that block or slows down the lava flow all the way down the rock.

In general, during a volcanic eruption the magma viscosity of the solidified rocks controls the lava flow and keep it under control.

To put it simply, the granite rock is made of granite magma with highest viscosity, andesite magma form andesite rock with medium viscosity and basalt magma produces basalt rock having lowest viscosity.
