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.

Is lava butte basaltic or granitic lava flow?
A lava butte is generally basaltic lava. Granitic lava flows (called rhyolitic when they form at the surface) are rare and do not cover much ground.
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.
Which type of lava-basaltic lava or rhyolitic lava flows faster and why?
Basaltic flows much faster than rhyolite. Rhyolite is higher viscosity. Find a video of a basaltic lava flow like Hawaii, it flows like water when it's hot. Rhyolite eruptions usually act more like toothpaste if they're slow, or an explosion if fast.
What is a holocene volcano?
A holocene volcano is a volcano that is made up of several different particles of holocene (Chemical gases) that come from basaltic silica or granitic silica. A quiet flow makes a slow and steady amount of various amounts of holocene, while the granitic flow, the explosive flow, makes a fast amount. High viscosity and low viscosity are also parts and particles of placements of holocene.
What is a low-silica magma?
A magma containing not much silica (= SiO2). For example: a basaltic magma. These magma's have a low viscosity since the lower the SiO2-content, the lower the viscosity; and hence flow easily (↔ a felsic magma).
Is lava butte basaltic or granitic lava flow?
A lava butte is generally basaltic lava. Granitic lava flows (called rhyolitic when they form at the surface) are rare and do not cover much ground.
Why does granitic magma cause explosive eruptions?
Granitic magma is highly viscous (resists flow). This high viscosity results in the entrapment and buildup of gases which create explosive eruptions.
Does basaltic or rhyolitic lava flow faster?
Basaltic lava flows much faster than ryholitic lava.
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.
Which type of lava-basaltic lava or rhyolitic lava flows faster and why?
Basaltic flows much faster than rhyolite. Rhyolite is higher viscosity. Find a video of a basaltic lava flow like Hawaii, it flows like water when it's hot. Rhyolite eruptions usually act more like toothpaste if they're slow, or an explosion if fast.
Does basalt or rhyolite flow faster?
Basaltic lava flows much faster than ryholitic lava.
How does temperature affect how well magma will flow?
It affects the rate of flow of the lava. Hotter means faster flow

What changes occur in the composition of the earth's layer's from the surface to the core?
inner core - solid ball of nickel-iron alloyouter core - liquid nickel-iron alloymantle - solid plastic basaltic rock (plastic means very flexible and can "flow" under pressure)ocean crust - solid brittle basaltic rockcontinental crust - solid brittle granitic rock
What kind of volcanic eruption happens when granite magma is present?
Granitic magma is highly viscous, meaning it has a high resistance to flow. Granitic magma does not reach the surface very often. It cools underground, thus we have granite. If granitic magma actually reaches the surface it would result in a highly explosive eruption.
What are gentle slopes of basaltic lava flow?
canthentian volcano
