Is felsic magma viscous?
Yes. Felsic magma is very viscous.
Where do mafic and felsic magma originate?
Felsic is a term that means that a rock contains types of silica. Fesic magma is magma that is high in silica particles and low in iron particles.
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 is moving Lava?
Felsic magma.
Does the presence of water raise the melting point of felsic magma?
No. Water lowers the melting point of magma, both mafic and felsic.
What type of magma does Mt.Tambora have?
felsic lava
What are the two types of magma?
The two main types of magma are mafic and felsic.
What type of magma containing a lot silica and water vapor?
Felsic magma
What term is used to describe magma that is rich in feldspars and silica?
Felsic magma. This type of magma is viscous with high silica content, resulting in explosive eruptions and the formation of light-colored rocks.
What happen when felsic magma mix with basic magma?
When felsic magma mixes with basic magma, it can lead to the formation of intermediate magma. This mixture can have a different composition in terms of silica and mineral content compared to the original magmas. The interaction can also trigger new chemical reactions, potentially changing the physical properties and eruption behavior of the magma.
What is coolslow-moving lava called?
Felsic magma.
What term is used to desribe magma that is rich in feldspars and silica?
energy
