their are many types of magma because when a volcano has soft magma that means it either exploded small or the magma was going really slow and fast magma and big exploding volcano's are hard magma.:)

Why can different types of igneous rock form?
Because there are different types of magma and different pathways for that magma to cool.
What three types of rocks can melt to form magma?
All types of rock can melt. Thus potentially ALL types of rocks can form a magma. Your question - asking for 3 types, is therefore meaningless.
Why are there so many types of magmas?
Because there are so many sources from which these magmas form. Different source rock = different magma composition.
What is the most viscous magma types?
the hot type
What are 3 types of non-volcanic types of eruption?
the two types of volcanic eruptions are magma and lava
What are the two types of magma?
The two main types of magma are mafic and felsic.
The types of magma?
Felsic, intermediate, mafic and ultra mafic are the four broad types of magma.

Which type of rock forms from magma?
magma is a mixture of several different types of rock.

basaltic,andesitic,rhyolitic

What are the magma types in order of decreasing viscosity?
Most viscous Felsic magma i.e. rhyolite Intermediate magma i.e. andersite Mafic magma i.e. Basalt Ultramafic magma i.e. Komatiite Least viscous
What are the three main types of magma what factor determines these classifications?
The three main types of magma are basaltic magma, andesitic magma, and rhyolitic magma. They are classified according to their mineral composition. Basaltic magma is composed of SiO2 45-55 wt%, high in Fe, Mg, Ca, low in K, Na. Andesitic magma is composed of SiO2 55-65 wt%, intermediate. in Fe, Mg, Ca, Na, K. Rhyolitic magma is composed of SiO2 65-75%, low in Fe, Mg, Ca, high in K, Na.
