Where do most rocks have basaltic composition?
Most rocks with basaltic composition are found in volcanic regions, such as volcanic islands and mid-oceanic ridges. They are also commonly found in continental flood basalt provinces, which are large expanses of basaltic lava flows that cover extensive areas of land. Basaltic rocks can sometimes be found in other settings as well, such as in certain types of metamorphic rocks.
What are the three types of lava flows associated with basaltic lava?
basaltic lava can form a'a, pahoehoe, or pillow lava.
What type of lava comes from what volcano?
Shield volcanoes will erupt basaltic lava. Cinder cones erupt basaltic lava or basaltic andesite lava. Stratovolcanoes often erupt andesite lava, but may erupt basaltic or rhyolitic lava and all intermediate types as well.
What are types of rocks and minerals found in the island of Hawaii?
Mostly basaltic lavas.
If basalt is in lava is the volcano explosive?
No. The more basalt the quieter the eruption. Basalt is deep deep material, from down where there are few volatiles to make lava explosive.

Basaltic

Compare and contrast the three types of magma?
Basaltic Magma is typically forms when rocks in the upper mantle melt...Andesitic Magma is found along continental margins....Rhyolitic Magma forms when molten material rises and mixes with the overlying silica-and water-richcontinental crust...All 3 of them is a magma.
What list places the magma What list places the magma types in order of decreasing?
basaltic,andesitic,rhyolitic
Why is orange the fast flowing flow volcano?
The orand lavayou see is basaltic lava. One important aspect of a liquid is a property called viscosity, or the resistance to flow. For example, maple syrup has a higher viscosity than water. Compared to other types of lava, basaltic lava does not have a lot of silica in it. The low silica content makes the lava less viscous. Basalt also has a migher melting point than other types of rock, so the lava is hotter, so hot that it glows orange or red. The higher temperature also lowers viscosity, as it does for nearly all liquids.
What types of rock make up the Canadian shield?
nardoIgneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.I believe it is very, very old, basaltic rock
What type of lava do cinder cones have?
Basaltic. There is more gas content than in most basaltic magma so that when a cinder cone erupts, The pressure builds up and makes the eruption somewhat explosive. Tephra, or dried lava/magma, is shot up, and joined to the volcano making it larger.
