Magma is a complex high-temperature fluid substance. Temperatures of most magmas are in the range 700 °C to 1300 °C (or 1300 °F to 2400 °F), but very rare carbonatite melts may be as cool as 600 °C, and komatiite melts may have been as hot as 1600 °C. Most are silicate mixturess.

What does the temperature have on the characteristics of magma?
Temperature, among other factors, effects the viscosity(thickness) of magma. However, for the most part, the temperature of magma is relatively consistent because magma is the type of molten rock that has not yet exited the volcano, so there are fewer factors to effect the temperature.
Which factors determine how violent an eruption will be?
· It is determined by the primary factors of the magma's Temperature, its Composition, and the amount of Dissolved Gases it contains.
Does temperature does temperature affect viscosity of magma?
High temperature=low viscosityLow temperature=high viscosity
What two things drive out magma?
pressure and temperature
What causes magma to form deep inside earth?
Magma is molten meaning liquid-like so it is able to move inside earth. The tectonic plates separate the earth and magma. This explains when the plates move earthquakes and volcanoes occur. Lava is not magma by the way! lava is hardened magma and magma is molten!
What temperature does magma solidify?
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.
Which type of magma is produced at the Coolest temperature?
felsic magma

How do temperature pressure and fluid content affect the formation of magma?
The air affects magma. Once magma is released above ground, called lava, the air hardens it. While it is underground, the higher the temperature and pressure, the runnier the magma.
Does temperature does temperature affect viscosity of magma?
High temperature=low viscosityLow temperature=high viscosity
How does temperature affect viscosity magma?
High temperature=low viscosityLow temperature=high viscosity
Does temperature affect viscosity of magma?
High temperature=low viscosityLow temperature=high viscosity
What affects the type of igneous rock that is formed?
Mineral composition of the magma, Rate of cooling of the magma, Temperature of the magma, Presence of volatiles and Amount of water present in the magma.
What temperature is magma when it comes into the magma chamber?
Most often between 700 and 1300 degrees C..
Can fire burn stone?
yes but at conciderably high temperature! have you seen magma (larva?) Most lava or magma types will fall in a temperature range of 1300-2400oF (700 to 1300oC) so that is essentially burning rock... and other stuff that mixed into it.so if you can invent something thAT COULD throw a liquid out at that temperature or a gas at a slighly higher temperature i guess you can burn stone buildings ! COOL MAN!
