| 1. | Choanoflagellate biosilicification requires the concentration of silicic acid within the cell.
|
| 2. | Rocks high in silica produce silicic acid as a weathering product.
|
| 3. | The lava flow is unusually long for a silicic lava flow.
|
| 4. | The magmas forming the volcano became more silicic over time.
|
| 5. | Cerro Chao is the largest such silicic lava flow known.
|
| 6. | Most volcanism in the area is of silicic nature however.
|
| 7. | In addition, contact with eyes may form silicic acid with resultant irritation.
|
| 8. | The volcano contains basaltic rocks with an extrusion formed from more silicic rock.
|
| 9. | Lower mantle melt rates would form mafic melts that incorporate silicic melts before erupting.
|
| 10. | The proposal was supported by an experiment involving volunteers and silicic-acid drinks.
