A further control on the morphology and characteristics of a deposit is the water to magma ratio. It is considered that the products of phreatomagmatic eruptions are fine grained and poorly sorted where the magma/water ratio is high, but when there is a lower magma/water ratio the deposits may be coarser and better sorted.

The tholeiitic magma series (/ ˌ θ oʊ l eɪ ˈ ɪ t ɪ k /) is one of two main magma series in subalkaline igneous rocks, the other being the calc-alkaline series. A magma series is a chemically distinct range of magma compositions that describes the evolution of a mafic magma into a more evolved, silica rich end member.
Cercozoa (now synonymised with Filosa) [2] is a phylum of diverse single-celled eukaryotes. [4] [5] They lack shared morphological characteristics at the microscopic level, [6] and are instead united by molecular phylogenies of rRNA and actin or polyubiquitin. [7]
The magma begins crystallizing, the highest melting point minerals closest to the overall composition first, in a process called fractional crystallization. This forms phenocrysts , [ 5 ] which usually have plenty of room for growth, and form large, well-shaped crystals with characteristic crystal faces ( euhedral crystals). [ 6 ]
These contain chlorophylls a and c, together with phycobiliproteins and other pigments, and vary in color (brown, red to blueish-green). Each is surrounded by four membranes, and there is a reduced cell nucleus called a nucleomorph between the middle two.
Most of the genes from the classic set of meiotic genes conserved in eukaryotes are upregulated in the sponges Geodia hentscheli and Geodia phlegraei including genes for DNA recombination. [20] Since porifera are the earliest divergent animals, these findings indicate that the basic toolkit of meiosis and recombination were present early in ...
The name "cyanobacteria" (from Ancient Greek κύανος (kúanos) 'blue') refers to their bluish green color, [8] [9] which forms the basis of cyanobacteria's informal common name, blue-green algae, [10] [11] [12] although as prokaryotes they are not scientifically classified as algae.
