What is andesitic magma made of?
made of types of molton rock
What are the 3 types of magma?
basaltic magma ,Andesitic magma and Rhyolitic magma
What list places the magma What list places the magma types in order of decreasing?
basaltic,andesitic,rhyolitic
Does Andesitic magma have both an intermediate gas content and explosiveness?
yes.
Compare and contrast the three types of magma?
Basaltic Magma is typically forms when rocks in the upper mantle melt...Andesitic Magma is found along continental margins....Rhyolitic Magma forms when molten material rises and mixes with the overlying silica-and water-richcontinental crust...All 3 of them is a magma.
Is basaltic or andesitic magma hotter?
Basaltic magma is hotter than andesitic magma.
What types of volcanoes are created when andesitic magma erupts?
Andesitic magma will result in the formation of a stratovolcano, also called a composite volcano.
Are pyroclasts formed by basaltic magma or andesitic magma?
Pyroclasts can be formed of any type of magma. However, they are more likely to form with andesitic than basaltic magma. Rhyolitic magma will also readily form pyroclasts.
How does andesitic rise to the surface?
magma rises and cools
What type of magma is found on composite volcano?
The average composition of magma in a composite volcano is andesitic. Composite volcanoes are highly variable though. They can erupt anything from basalt to rhyolite.
What is andesitic magma made of?
made of types of molton rock
Which magma contains small amounts of silica and has a low what?
Andesitic
Does basaltic magma have a lot of silica or very little?
Basaltic magma is low in silica compared to andesitic or granitic magma.
What are the 3 types of magma?
basaltic magma ,Andesitic magma and Rhyolitic magma
What list places the magma What list places the magma types in order of decreasing?
basaltic,andesitic,rhyolitic
Does Andesitic magma have both an intermediate gas content and explosiveness?
yes.
What are the three main types of magma what factor determines these classifications?
The three main types of magma are basaltic magma, andesitic magma, and rhyolitic magma. They are classified according to their mineral composition. Basaltic magma is composed of SiO2 45-55 wt%, high in Fe, Mg, Ca, low in K, Na. Andesitic magma is composed of SiO2 55-65 wt%, intermediate. in Fe, Mg, Ca, Na, K. Rhyolitic magma is composed of SiO2 65-75%, low in Fe, Mg, Ca, high in K, Na.
