What else can I help you with?
Is lava butte basaltic or granitic lava flow?
A lava butte is generally basaltic lava. Granitic lava flows (called rhyolitic when they form at the surface) are rare and do not cover much ground.
What kind of magma does Yellowstone have?
The magma is primarily granitic/rhyolitic, but there are occasional basaltic lava flows.
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.
What type of lava does Mt Etna have?
Mt Etna, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, primarily produces basaltic lava. This type of lava is low in silica content, which makes it relatively fluid and able to flow long distances. Etna's eruptions can range from effusive, producing lava flows, to explosive, producing ash plumes and pyroclastic flows.
Is lava butte basaltic or granitic lava flow?
A lava butte is generally basaltic lava. Granitic lava flows (called rhyolitic when they form at the surface) are rare and do not cover much ground.
How is basaltic lava different from granitic lava?
Basaltic lava is far less viscous, has less silica, erupts at a higher temperature and is denser than granitic lava (properly called rhyolitic lava when it is on the surface). Basaltic lava is composed primarily of pyroxenes and calcium rich plagioclase with small amounts of olivine. Rhyolitic lava primarily contains alkali feldspars and quartz.
The 1943 eruption of Paricutin in Mexico was characterized by?
cinder cone building and basaltic lava
Which is volcanic lava rock basaltic or granitic?
The most common type of lava is basaltic. However some lavas may be andesitic or ryolitic. Rhyolite is the extrustive equivalent of granite.
What kind of magma does Yellowstone have?
The magma is primarily granitic/rhyolitic, but there are occasional basaltic lava flows.
Does granitic lava come out of a cinder cone volcano?
No. Cinder cones erupr basaltic and occasionally andesitic lava. "Granitic" lava, called rhyolitic when it is erupted, erupts primarily from composite volcanoes (also called stratovolcanoes), and some caldera volcanoes.
What kind of lava does a lava volcano have?
The textbook answer would be granitic or rhyolitic lava. In reality composite volcanoes are highly variable, erupting the full range from basaltic to rhyolitic (granitic) materal and everything in between includin andesite and dacite. One composite volcano in Africa erupts unique carbonatite lava.
Is granitic magma dark or light?
granitic is light, basaltic is dark.
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.
Is it basic lava or basaltic lava?
It's basaltic lava, not basic.
What type of lava does Mt Etna have?
Mt Etna, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, primarily produces basaltic lava. This type of lava is low in silica content, which makes it relatively fluid and able to flow long distances.
