How does the coposition of the magma affect the temperature at which it solidifies?

The composition of the magma is very important for solidificatoin temperature. When it starts to cool, crystals of minerals begin to grow.
If it has a low silica content - which means high melting point - the magma will solidify at high temeratures.
If it has a high silica content - which means low melting point - it will solidify at lower temperatures.

When magma cools and solidifies it becomes?
lava rock
Does temperature does temperature affect viscosity of magma?
High temperature=low viscosityLow temperature=high viscosity
How does the composition of the magma affect the temperature at which it solidfies?
kirsten is amazing:)
Why does magma cool at different rates?
When Magma solidifies within the earth, it cools down very slowly because the rock surrounding the magma are also hot.
What breaks down igneous into sediments?
magma cools and solidifies.
How does the composition of the magma affect the temperature which it solidifies?
Magma consists of molten rocks and metals. The composition can vary based on presence of water, metals with different melting points, and such.
What solidifies into plutonic rock?
magma
What is solid form of magma body?
When magma solidifies, it becomes igneous rock.
Can minerals from from the cooling of magma?
Yes. When magma cools and solidifies, mineral crystals are formed.
When magma cools and solidifies it becomes?
lava rock
Do minerals crystalize out of magma when it melts?
No. Magma is already at least partially molten. Mineral crystallize when magma solidifies.
Does temperature does temperature affect viscosity of magma?
High temperature=low viscosityLow temperature=high viscosity
How does temperature affect viscosity magma?
High temperature=low viscosityLow temperature=high viscosity
Does temperature affect viscosity of magma?
High temperature=low viscosityLow temperature=high viscosity
Can minerals form the cooling of magma?
Yes. When magma cools and solidifies, mineral crystals are formed.
