Solution

The statement that is false with regard to magmas is "Viscosity is nearly same as that of the solvent".

Magma is a type of colloidal solution and it is known for its high viscosity, which is much greater than that of the solvent. The viscosity of magma is due to the large size of the dispersed particles. Therefore, the statement that the viscosity of magma is nearly the same as that of the solvent is false.
