When would a granitic magma remain a magma beneath Earth's surface?
_when the magma remains below the depth at which magmas become solid _when the magma retains enough water to keep it from solidifying, regardless of depth
Can granite form as a lava flow?
No. Granite forms when granitic magma cools deep underground. When granitic magma erupts as lava it cools more quickly and forms a rock called rhyolite.
Is basaltic magma or granitic magma hotter?
Baslatic magma is hotter.
What type of magma is primarily associated with high viscosity?
Granitic magma
What does granitic magma contain a lot of?
Silica.

What kind of rock is likely to form where the heat from the granitic magma is conducted to the limestone country rock?
The metamorphosed limestone will most likely be a skarn or marble, both formed from contact with an intruding granitic magma.
What magma is silica-rich thick magma?
An acid magma or a granitic magma.
Is granitic magma dark or light?
granitic is light, basaltic is dark.
Is basaltic magma or granitic magma hotter?
Baslatic magma is hotter.
What color is granitic magma?
PURPLE
What type of magma is primarily associated with high viscosity?
Granitic magma
What does granitic magma contain a lot of?
Silica.
How does granitic rock form?
Granite is an intrusive igneous rock so that means magma cools under ground.
When equal amounts of a basaltic and granitic magma mix what is the resulting magma?
basaltic
Is basaltic magma wet or dry?
Granitic magma is wet.
