Does Krakatoa have felsic magma or mafic?
felsic
Why are felsic rocks melted by mafic magmas but mafic rocks are not melted by felsic magmas?
Felsic rocks have a lower melting point than mafic rocks and felsic magma has a lower temperature. In other words, felsic magma is not hot enough to melt mafic rock while mafic magma is hot enough to melt felsic rock.
What happen when felsic magma mix with basic magma?
Felsic and mafic (basic) magam mix to form intermediate magma.
What type of lava forms mt hood?
Mafic magma and Felsic magma.
Why is the lava mostly mafic at divergent plate boundaries and intermediate and felsic at convergent plate boundaries?
Mafic magma has extremely high ferromagnesian content, produced by decompression melting. As the plates move apart, mantle rises to fill the void. As it melts, it forms mafic magma. Where plates are meeting, the compression of crust forms magma with higher silica content, thus forming felsic and intermediate magmas.

Does the mantle have mafic or felsic in it?
The mantle is ultramafic.
The types of magma?
Felsic, intermediate, mafic and ultra mafic are the four broad types of magma.
What happen when felsic magma mix with basic magma?
Felsic and mafic (basic) magam mix to form intermediate magma.
Mafic mineral low or high density?
Mafic magma and rock are higher in density that felsic magma and rock.
Does mauna loa have mafic or felsic magma?
Mauna loa erupts mafic lava.
What are the two types of magma?
The two main types of magma are mafic and felsic.
What type of lava forms mt hood?
Mafic magma and Felsic magma.
What are the 3 types of magma?
basaltic magma ,Andesitic magma and Rhyolitic magma
Is felsic magma eruptive?
Not usually. Because it is so viscous, felsic magma does not erupt as easily as mafic magma. While eruptions of felsic magma do occur, most felsic rocks are intrusive, meaning they solidify underground.
What are some different types of magma?
Mafic intermediate and Felsic
