Answer to Question 1

Answer: Silica increases the viscosity and decreases magma temperature (which will also increase the viscosity).

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Magma is molten rock below the surface that retains its volatiles. Lava is molten rock that has reached the surface and is losing or has lost its volatiles.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
