Answer:
Option C, size of the volcanic cone
Explanation:
The explosion of vaolcano depends on -
a) magma composition – If magma is composed of some material which has low viscosity, the already low viscosity further goes lower on heating of magma. Thus it becomes very easy for the fluid to flow. Felsic or rhyolitic components in magma has a high viscosity as compared to magma containing mafic or basaltic components.
b) magma temperature – The higher the temperature, the lower would be the viscosity of the material of which a volcano is composed of and the higher will be its fluidity.
c) the amount of dissolved gases that are contained in the magma- When high amount of gases are dissolved in magma , the pressure of the magma also become high and thus the volcanic eruptions are explosive.
