Question

differentiate between acid lava and basic lava​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

                             $\boxed{ACIDIC-LAVA}$

Acidic lava is very viscous (sticky).

Steep sides as the lava doesn't flow very far before it solidifies.

Alternate layers of ash and lava. For this reason, they're also known as stratovolcanoes. Strato means layers.

Longer periods between eruptions.

                            $\boxed{BASIC-LAVA}$

Basic lava, which is non-acidic and very runny.

Gentle sides as the lava flows for long distances before it solidifies.

No layers, as the volcano just consists of lava.

Shorter periods between eruptions

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Acid lava - It is viscous , is lighter in colour and has higher silica content

2. Basic lava - It is non - viscous, is dark in colour and has lighter silica content
