How does the composition of magma affect the temperature at which it solidifies?

Magma consists of molten rocks and metals. The composition can vary based on presence of water, metals with different melting points, and such.


What are three ways that magma can form?

Three ways that magma form:temperaturecompositionpressureIn addition, water causes the melting temperature to lower, which causes it to melt into magma


How do igneous rocks for?

I think you mean form, so, they are cooled magma and are classified 3 ways: mineral composition (aka color) texture, or if they are made internally or externally


How many types of magma are there?

their are many types of magma because when a volcano has soft magma that means it either exploded small or the magma was going really slow and fast magma and big exploding volcano's are hard magma.:)


Where does the viscosity of magma depends?

1. Chemical Composition of the magma. 2. Concentration of the melt. 3. Presence of Volatiles. 4. Amount of Water present in the magma.


What are the 3 types of magma?

basaltic magma ,Andesitic magma and Rhyolitic magma


Four factors involved in the formation of magma?

Four factors involved in the formation of magma include; 1. Temperature. 2. Depth. 3. Chemical composition. 4. Quantity of water in the melt.


What are the three major ways that magma form forms?

Three ways that magma form:temperaturecompositionpressureIn addition, water causes the melting temperature to lower, which causes it to melt into magma


What 3 factors determine magma viscosity?

The three elements that determine viscosity in magma are:TemperatureSilicaOxides (gases)Viscosity changes the way in which magma will flow. Magma with low viscosity will flow much more easily than high viscosity magma.


What magma forms dome mountains?

Not all dome shaped mountains are caused by magma, but some are.There are three sorts of magma related Dome Mountains1) They occur above some Laccoliths. Laccoliths form when magma is injected between two layers of sedimentary rock, causing the overlying strata to bulge upwards forming a dome shape (like a blister on your toe). The magma in these circumstances can be of any composition.2) Certain magmas, when they erupt form large domes Eg Big Southern Butte. In these cases the magma is usually very acidic (very silica rich) and viscous and is called a rhyolite.3) In many cases (quite commonly) smaller domes of semi solid magma get pushed up in the craters of existing volcanoes, either because the magma is cool or because its composition makes it viscous. The majority of the magmas are Adesitic, Dacitic or Rhyolitic in composition (but basaltic domes are also known. These domes do not survive long as topographic features.


In what four ways can polymers be modified to change there properties?

1. Chain length 2. Plasticizers 3. Cross linking 4. Crystallinity


What are 3 ways extrusive and intrusive different?

Intrusive rocks are from the magma INSIDE of the volcano. Extrusive rocks are from the OUTSIDE of the volcano. I don't know 2 other ways but by the way I learned this in 4th grade?!
