Basaltic Magmas are dark colored, heavy and are ferromagnesian in composition, so they most times do not form light colored rocks, rather, the Felsic Granitic Magma forms the light colored rocks with lower densities.

Are light-colored rocks with lower densities form from basaltic magma?

You didnt even put nothing if you not gone answer the question dont put nun period


True or false Light colored rocks with lower densities form from basaltic magma?

False. Light colored rocks with lower densities typically form from felsic magma, which has a higher silica content compared to basaltic magma. Felsic rocks include granite and rhyolite, which are commonly light in color and less dense.


Is basaltic magma or granitic magma hotter?

Baslatic magma is hotter.


This type of magma is dark in color?

This type of magma is called basaltic magma. It has a lower silica content, which gives it a darker color compared to other types of magma. Basaltic magma is commonly associated with volcanic activity at divergent plate boundaries.


Which type of magma is produced at the Coolest temperature?

Basaltic magma is produced at the coolest temperatures because it has a lower silica content and therefore has a lower melting point compared to other types of magma. This type of magma typically erupts quietly and forms basaltic rock, such as the kind found at mid-ocean ridges.


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 kinds of lava do volcanoes with lower viscosity magma produce?

They produce basaltic lava.


When equal amounts of a basaltic and granitic magma mix what is the resulting magma?

basaltic


What list places the magma What list places the magma types in order of decreasing?

basaltic,andesitic,rhyolitic


What color rocks does basaltic magma form?

Basaltic magma usually forms a black rock.


Will rhyolitic magmas erupt at lower temperatures than basaltic magmas?

Yes, rhyolitic magmas are several hundred °C colder than basaltic magmas. This is because the melting point of a rhyolitic magma is much lower than that of basaltic magma. Instead of heating up rhyolitic magma much above its melting point it will ascend and either crystallize in the Earth's interior as a pluton or erupt.


Does basaltic magma have a lot of silica or very little?

Basaltic magma is low in silica compared to andesitic or granitic magma.
