What does low silica magma form?
Nealy all magma on Earth is originally low-silica, mafic magma. Most magma originates from the upper mantle, which is ultramafic, meaning it has a very low silica content. This rock may partially melt under certain conditions, forming mafic magma, which has a somewhat higher silica content than the mantle rock.
