_______are usually the most abundant gases emitted during basaltic volcanism.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water and carbon dioxide are the most abundant gases emitted during basaltic volcanism, as basaltic magma typically contains a high amount of volatiles (i.e. gases) compared to other types of magma. Chlorine and sodium may also be present in small quantities, but they are not as abundant as water and carbon dioxide. Neon and ammonia are not typically emitted during basaltic volcanism. Similarly, while oxygen and nitrogen are the two most abundant gases in Earth's atmosphere, they are not typically emitted during volcanic eruptions.
