Which type of lava-basaltic lava or rhyolitic lava flows faster and why?

Basaltic flows much faster than rhyolite. Rhyolite is higher viscosity. Find a video of a basaltic lava flow like Hawaii, it flows like water when it's hot. Rhyolite eruptions usually act more like toothpaste if they're slow, or an explosion if fast.


Why is magma hotter than lava?

Magma is hotter than lava because magma is located beneath the Earth's surface where it is exposed to higher temperatures and pressures compared to lava, which is magma that reaches the surface. As magma rises to the surface and cools, it loses some of its heat energy, resulting in the lower temperature of lava.


Is lava magma?

yes. magma is the lava that is in the volcano and lava is the magma that is outside a volcano

How do minerals form from magma and lava?

Minerals form from magma and lava through the process of crystallization. As the molten rock cools, atoms within the magma or lava arrange themselves into a crystalline structure to form solid mineral crystals. The specific minerals that form depend on factors such as the composition of the magma or lava and the cooling rate.

Does granitic or basaltic magma flow faster?

Magma is never cool as it is inside the volcano with a whole load of other magna and when hardend i believe it is called something else. Although, i presume you mean lava which is magma when it is outside of the volcano so in answer to that, the hotter it is, the runnier it is, the faster it moves.
