Why does the magma from some volcanoes flow smoothly and relatively peacefully, while the magma from other volcanoes blasts forth violently and deals death over wide areas? differences in the chemical and mineral makeup of magmas variations in the temperature, water and gas content, and viscosity of magmas different geographic positions with respect to hot spots and edges of tectonic plates All of these choices are correct.
All of these choices are correct.
