English: This diagram depicts two silica tetrahedra joined by a bridging oxygen. Small black spheres are silicon ions; white spheres are nonbridging oxygen ions; the pink sphere is the bridging oxygen ion. The linking of silica tetrahedra by bridging oxygen ions gives high-silica magma its high viscosity.
