What else can I help you with?
Does cooler magma flows more or less quickly than hotter magma?
when magma is melted at a higher temp. it'll be more runny so cooler magma will be slower than hotter magma

How many magama are in the ocean?
The ocean floors are largely made of magma.
Is basaltic magma or granitic magma hotter?
Baslatic magma is hotter.
What is the difference in silica content and viscosity between light-colored and dark-colored magma?
The lower the viscosity is the hotter the magma is and faster it flows.Higher the viscosity is the cooler it is and slower it flows down.
Is magma push up through cracks in the earth's crust?
No its in the earth center or core if you will. Lava is outer magma is inner and the difference is the heat magma hotter lava's cooler but both are over 1000 degrees.
Which process explains why less dense hot magma rises to the surface to displace more dense cooler magma?
This process is known as mantle convection. The hotter, less dense magma rises while the cooler, denser magma sinks, creating a circular motion within the mantle. This movement of magma is driven by differences in temperature and density, ultimately leading to the displacement of magma at the surface.
Does granitic or basaltic magma flow faster?
Magma is never cool as it is inside the volcano with a whole load of other magna and when hardend i believe it is called something else. Although, i presume you mean lava which is magma when it is outside of the volcano so in answer to that, the hotter it is, the runnier it is, the faster it moves.
Based on the diagram Which process explains why less dense hot magma rises to the surface to displace more sense and cooler magma?
The process that explains why less dense hot magma rises to the surface is called convection. In a magma chamber, hotter magma becomes less dense than the cooler surrounding magma, causing it to rise. As it ascends, it displaces the cooler, denser magma, creating a continuous cycle of movement. This process is driven by differences in temperature and density, leading to the formation of volcanic activity.
How magma reaches the surface?
Magma sometimes flows toward the surface as a result of convection currents in the magma, that is to say, the hotter magma rises within cooler magma. Because it is so hot, the rising magma simply melts away anything in its path, so nothing can prevent it from reaching the surface.

What are convection current and how are they formed?
Convection currents in the earth originate in the mantle. The liquid moves in a circle pattern as the hotter magma rises and the cooler magma falls. This can also be observed in any fluid material, gases or liquids.
