The composition of the magma effects the temperature it will cool and solidify at. In general most magma solidify at about 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit.

What Magma and lava can both solidify to produce?
They are both the same thing, which is melted rock, which means they solidify to form rock. The only difference between magma and lava is that magma is underground, and lava is not.
What type of rock is made from magma cooling?
If a magma of higher temperature cools down, certain minerals solidify first. Eventually, those minerals that remain liquid at the lowest temperatures solidify the latest. The rock that is then formed is Granite (if it's intrusive), or Rhyolite (if it's extrusive)
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.
How does temperature effect magma?
yes it does ((: temperature composition and the amount of dissolved gases
Does cooler magma flows more or less quickly 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
What temperature does magma solidify?

What does cooling magma solidify into?
Lava

When does magma stop flowing?
When it becomes too cool, and then it will solidify.
Which rock was subjected to intense heat and pressure but did not solidify from magma?
Schist
Does soil have magma?
No. Magma is molten rock inside the earth. Soil can contain material from magma. Magma can solidify inside earth or erupt from volcano. The material can then weather away and become a component of soil.

Is felsic magma eruptive?
Not usually. Because it is so viscous, felsic magma does not erupt as easily as mafic magma. While eruptions of felsic magma do occur, most felsic rocks are intrusive, meaning they solidify underground.

Why are igneous rock most often used in radiometric dating?
Their radioactive clock is set when they solidify from magma or lava.
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
