Pyroclasts can be formed of any type of magma. However, they are more likely to form with andesitic than basaltic magma. Rhyolitic magma will also readily form pyroclasts.

Is basaltic or andesitic magma hotter?
Basaltic magma is hotter than andesitic magma.
Does basaltic magma have a lot of silica or very little?
Basaltic magma is low in silica compared to andesitic or granitic magma.
Is andiestic magma high in silica?
Andesitic magma has intermediate silica content. Rhyolite has the highest(>68%) and Basaltic the least.
What are 3 kinds of magma?
Basaltic lava, Andesitic lava, and Rhyolitic Lava :] (glad to help)
What is magma composition of Mount Tambora?
It is that it has high silica content

What are the three main types of magma what factor determines these classifications?
The three main types of magma are basaltic magma, andesitic magma, and rhyolitic magma. They are classified according to their mineral composition. Basaltic magma is composed of SiO2 45-55 wt%, high in Fe, Mg, Ca, low in K, Na. Andesitic magma is composed of SiO2 55-65 wt%, intermediate. in Fe, Mg, Ca, Na, K. Rhyolitic magma is composed of SiO2 65-75%, low in Fe, Mg, Ca, high in K, Na.
What is Magma that is high in silica and produces explosive eruption is called?
Rhyolitic magma. Boom! Basaltic magma is its exact opposite, while andesitic magma is in between the two.
Correct order of decreasing magma viscosity?
The amount of viscosity present in magma depends on the amount of silica it has. A composite volcano produces rhyolitic lava which is very thick. A shield volcano produces a basaltic lava with less silica and significantly less viscosity.
What is the type of magma contain a lot of silica and water vapor is?
The three types of magma, named for the rock they form are basaltic, rhyolitic and andesitic. Rhyolitic magma is rich in silica and water vapor.
Do cinder cone volcanoes have granitic magma?
No. Cinder cones are formed by basaltic magma.
