What else can I help you with?
Is basaltic magma or granitic magma hotter?
Baslatic magma is hotter.
Is magma radioactive?
No more than anything else. Almost all matter you encounter will contain small amounts of radioactive elements or isotopes. Granitic magma can contain small amounts of uranium, but not enough to pose any immediate danger. However, areas built on granitic bedrock can face a potential danger from radon.
What 3 minerals do most granitic rocks contain?
Feldspar (the pink one), Quartz (the white one), Biotite (also possibly hornblende) <- the black one
When equal amounts of a basaltic and granitic magma mix what is the resulting magma?
basaltic
Does basaltic magma have a lot of silica or very little?
Basaltic magma is low in silica compared to andesitic or granitic magma.
What magma is silica-rich thick magma?
An acid magma or a granitic magma.
Is granitic magma dark or light?
granitic is light, basaltic is dark.
Is basaltic magma or granitic magma hotter?
Baslatic magma is hotter.
What color is granitic magma?
PURPLE

Is granitic magma very silica-rich.?
Yes
Do cinder cone volcanoes have granitic magma?
No. Cinder cones are formed by basaltic magma.
At what depth does granitic magma form?
Granitic magma forms at relatively shallow depths, typically between 1 and 10 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface. This type of magma is formed through the partial melting of continental crust, which is composed mainly of granitic rocks.
Why does granitic magma cause explosive eruptions?
Granitic magma is highly viscous (resists flow). This high viscosity results in the entrapment and buildup of gases which create explosive eruptions.
