Do composite cone volcanoes have mafic lava?
They can. Composite volcanoes vary in what they erupt. Many composite volcanoes are composed of a mixture of mafic, felsic, and intermediate rock. However, in most cases intermediated or felsic rock predominates.

How do you use lava mafic and felsic in one sentence?
Lava can be classified into two main types: mafic lava, which is rich in magnesium and iron and tends to flow easily, creating broad shield volcanoes, and felsic lava, which is high in silica and more viscous, leading to explosive eruptions and the formation of stratovolcanoes.

Do the most violent volcanoes spew mafic?
No. The most violent eruptions involve felsic magma.
Do cinder cones erupt felsic or mafic lava?
Composite volcanoes can erupt both mafic and felsic material, but intermediate material is the most common.
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 are the 3 common types of plutons?
Cinder volcanoes, composite volcanoes, frision volcanoes, and cinder cone volcanoes.
