a) The eruption at point B would be quiet since magma passing through Earth’s crust would have high silica content trapping gas under high pressure, producing more quiet eruptions from the volcano.
b) The eruption at point A would quiet since magma passing through Earth’s crust would have high silica content trapping gas under high pressure producing more quiet eruptions from the volcano.
c) The eruption at point A would be quiet because the magma that squeezes out through oceanic crust has low silica and gas content.
d) The eruption at point B would be more explosive because the magma that squeezes out through oceanic crust has low silica and gas content.
