What else can I help you with?
What list places the magma What list places the magma types in order of decreasing?
basaltic,andesitic,rhyolitic
Which would you expect to cause the greatest amount of contact metamorphism an intrusion of basaltic magma or an intrusion of rhyolitic magma?
An intrusion of basaltic magma would likely cause greater contact metamorphism compared to an intrusion of rhyolitic magma. Basaltic magma has higher temperatures and higher fluidity, allowing it to heat surrounding rocks more effectively and induce more intense metamorphic changes.
Characterized by basaltic volcanism and seafloor spreading?
This description is often associated with mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed through seafloor spreading, creating basaltic volcanism. These ridges are areas of tectonic activity where magma rises to the surface, solidifying into basaltic rocks.
Basaltic magma would form what color of igneous rocks?
baslt
Why are granitic igneous rocks lighter in color than basaltic rocks?
Granitic igneous rocks are lighter in color than basaltic rocks because they contain more quartz and feldspar minerals, which are typically light in color. Basaltic rocks, on the other hand, contain more dark-colored minerals like pyroxene and olivine, giving them a darker color.
Is it basic lava or basaltic lava?
It's basaltic lava, not basic.
What is Magma that is high in silica and produces explosive eruption is called?
Rhyolitic magma. Boom! Basaltic magma is its exact opposite, while andesitic magma is in between the two.
When equal amounts of a basaltic and granitic magma mix what is the resulting magma?
basaltic
Is basaltic magma or granitic magma hotter?
Baslatic magma is hotter.
Which lava is less viscous rhyolitic or basaltic?
Basaltic lava is less viscous.
Where do rocks have a basaltic composition?
Oceanic crust is made of basaltic rock. The rocks formed from hotspot volcano lavas are also often basaltic too.
Is basaltic or andesitic magma hotter?
Basaltic magma is hotter than andesitic magma. Basaltic magma typically has temperatures ranging from 1000°C to 1200°C, while andesitic magma has temperatures around 800°C to 1000°C.
What color rocks does basaltic magma form?
Basaltic magma usually forms a black rock.
Are basaltic scoria and scoria the same thing?
Not necessarily. Most scoria is basaltic, but some can be andesitic.
Is Hawaii basaltic?
Yes.
Are basaltic lavas a pahoehoe lava?
Basaltic lavas can be either pahoehoe or a'a lava types. Pahoehoe lavas have smooth, rope-like textures, while a'a lavas are rough and jagged. The type of lava formed depends on various factors such as temperature, composition, and viscosity.
Does basaltic or rhyolitic lava flow faster?
Basaltic lava flows much faster than ryholitic lava.
