Does Krakatoa have felsic magma or mafic?
felsic
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 happen when felsic magma mix with basic magma?
Felsic and mafic (basic) magam mix to form intermediate magma.
What type of lava forms mt hood?
Mafic magma and 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.

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.
Does the presence of water raise the melting point of felsic magma?
No. Water lowers the melting point of magma, both mafic and felsic.
