The explosive potential of magma depends more on viscosity gas content than on temperature. Most magmas are at temperature of at least 700 degrees Celcius. Interestingly, the most explosive magmas are the high-silica magmas, which have lower melting temperatures.

Does mafic magma explode?

Mafic magmas generally have lower viscosity and gas content compared to felsic magmas, so they tend to flow more easily rather than explode. However, in certain conditions where gas build-up is high and pressure is released rapidly, mafic magma may still explode, but it is less common than with felsic magmas.
