What else can I help you with?
Does basaltic magma have a lot of silica or very little?
Basaltic magma is low in silica compared to andesitic or granitic magma.
Is basaltic magma or granitic magma hotter?
Baslatic magma is hotter.
Is basaltic or andesitic magma hotter?
Basaltic magma is hotter than andesitic magma. Basaltic magma typically has temperatures ranging from 1000°C to 1200°C, while andesitic magma has temperatures around 800°C to 1000°C.
When equal amounts of a basaltic and granitic magma mix what is the resulting magma?
basaltic
What is shield volcanoes lava composed of?
TThe magma is composed of gas and is silica rich.
Lava plateaus are likely to have formed from magma that is?
basaltic with little gas content

What is the difference between basaltic magma and silicic magma?
Granitic rocks are intrusive, which means they crystallized underground. Basaltic rocks are extrusive, meaning they crystallized above ground. Also, basaltic rocks are more mafic, and granitic rocks are more felsic.
What is shield volcanoes lava composed of?
TThe magma is composed of gas and is silica rich.
If basalt is in lava is the volcano explosive?
Basaltic lava tends to be less explosive than other types of lava because it has lower viscosity and gas content. However, the explosiveness of a volcano is influenced by multiple factors including the volcano's history, magma composition, and gas content. While basaltic lava eruptions are typically less explosive, there can be exceptions.
What list places the magma What list places the magma types in order of decreasing?
basaltic,andesitic,rhyolitic
What color rocks does basaltic magma form?
Basaltic magma usually forms a black rock.
Why is Kilauea volcano non explosive?
Kilauea is a shield volcano fed by gas-poor basaltic magma. It is the gas in the magma that makes eruptions explosive. Kilauea has occasionally produced explosive eruptions when magma cam in contact with water.
Which would you expect to cause the greatest amount of contact metamorphism an intrusion of basaltic magma or an intrusion of rhyolitic magma?
An intrusion of basaltic magma would likely cause greater contact metamorphism compared to an intrusion of rhyolitic magma. Basaltic magma has higher temperatures and higher fluidity, allowing it to heat surrounding rocks more effectively and induce more intense metamorphic changes.
