Does magma erode igneous rocks inside a volcano?
In a way. A magma is hotter then the surrounding rock, that's why the magma is molten and the rock is not. But because of this, some heat of the magma is melting the surrounding rock. You might want to classify this as erosion, but it's simply the melting of the rock surrounding the magma.
Is basaltic magma or granitic magma hotter?
Baslatic magma is hotter.
Does cooler magama flow more or less quickly than hotter magma?
Cooler magma flows slower than hotter magma.
Does cooler magma flow more or less than hotter magma?
when magma is melted at a higher temp. it'll be more runny so cooler magma will be slower than hotter magma

Is basaltic or andesitic magma hotter?
Basaltic magma is hotter than andesitic magma. Basaltic magma typically has temperatures ranging from 1000°C to 1200°C, while andesitic magma has temperatures around 800°C to 1000°C.
How is magma generated along subduction zones?
Magma is generated along subduction zones primarily through the process of dehydration and melting of the subducting oceanic plate as it descends into the hotter, mantle wedge. The release of water and other volatiles from the subducting slab lowers the melting point of the overlying mantle, leading to partial melting. This molten rock then rises to form magma, which can contribute to volcanic activity and the formation of volcanic arcs associated with subduction zones.
How does magma occur?
Magma occurrs by rocks melting inside a volcano
Where do you get your magma from?
Magma comes from the melting of material in the crust or upper mantle.
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 is the difference in silica content and viscosity between light color and dark colored magma?
The lower the viscosity is the hotter the magma is and faster it flows.Higher the viscosity is the cooler it is and slower it flows down.
Which following affects the melting temperature of magma?
The melting temperature of magma is primarily influenced by factors such as pressure, composition, and water content. Increased pressure raises the melting temperature, while different mineral compositions can lower it due to variations in the melting points of the constituent minerals. Additionally, the presence of water in magma decreases the melting temperature, promoting the formation of magma at lower temperatures than would be required in its absence.
