The behavior of magma in continental volcanoes such as the Yellostone volcano can be complex. Most magma starts out with a basaltic composition. The rhyolitic magma forms when the basaltic magma undergoes fraction crystallization and assimilates continental rock.

The magma chamber beneath Yellowstone occasionally receives new injections of basaltic magma from the mantle. Some of this may quickly rise to the surface and erupt with little change to its composition. Whoever, more often the processes mentioned above turn it into a more felsic magma.
