Q. Which of the following are characteristics of Acidic lava?
  1. Low percentage of silica
  2. Volcanic cone is stratified
  3. Mostly occur along the destructive boundary
  4. Highly dense
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:

Answer: Only 2 & 3
Notes: Acidic lavas have a high percentage of silica, are light-coloured, low in density, and flow slowly, creating stratified, steep-sided cones. They generally occur along destructive boundaries. Therefore, statements 2 and 3 are correct. Statements 1 and 4 are incorrect as acidic lava has high silica and low density.
