Is the mt paricutin volcanoes magma mafic intermediate or felsic?
Like most cinder cones Paricutin was fed by mafic magma.
Do cinder cones erupt felsic or mafic lava?
Composite volcanoes can erupt both mafic and felsic material, but intermediate material is the most common.
Is mafic or felsic lava produced in mt fuji?
mafic lava is the KIND of lava produced in mount (mt) Fuji.
Which moves fast felsic lava or mafic lava?
A mafic lava flow will move faster than a felsic lava flow due to its lower viscosity. However, felsic magma tends to erupt explosively, producing fast-moving pyroclastic flows instead of lava flows.
Is mauna loa mafic or felsic?
The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens produced dacite, which has an intermediate-felsic composition.
Between mafic lava and felsic lava which flowsfaster?
Mafic lava is hotter than felsic lava and therefore flows faster.

Is mauna kea mafic or felsic?
As a shield volcano, Mauna Kea erupts mafic lava.
What kind of lava do Composite volcanoes produce?
it has mafic and felsic duhhhhh
Where does felsic lava form at?
== == Felsic lava has a higher silica content than mafic lava. Felsic lava is slower moving (high viscosity) than the less viscous mafic lava. Mafic lava is higher in dark minerals and higher in the elements iron and magnesium.
What type of lava forms mt hood?
Mafic magma and Felsic magma.
Which cools faster mafic or felsic rocks?
mafic because it is-dark colored. Ultramafic - no light colored mineral which means it it attracts most heat from a volcano taking it longer to cool down from the lighter, in between substance known as felsic :D
