Salutations!
An eruption is classified as an explosive volcanic eruption based on the amount of which mineral found in the magma?
Silica is the mineral found in magma when it is erupted. Silica is not a mineral when it is a molten from of state. Silica, basically is Silicon Dioxide. It contains lava when it is erupted out of the vent.
Hope I helped (:
Have a great day!
