Oceanic crust and oceanic sediments.
Baslatic magma is 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.
basaltic
Basaltic magma is low in silica compared to andesitic or granitic magma.
Yes, basaltic magma typically has low gas content compared to other types of magma. This is because basaltic magma is formed at high temperatures and pressures which allows gases to escape more easily. The low gas content contributes to the relatively quiet and effusive eruptions common with basaltic magma.

Basaltic magma usually forms a black rock.
Basaltic magma is low in silica compared to andesitic or granitic magma.
An intrusion of basaltic magma would likely cause greater contact metamorphism compared to an intrusion of rhyolitic magma. Basaltic magma has higher temperatures and higher fluidity, allowing it to heat surrounding rocks more effectively and induce more intense metamorphic changes.

magma
Basaltic, runny magma.
Basaltic lava tends to be less explosive than other types of lava because it has lower viscosity and gas content. However, the explosiveness of a volcano is influenced by multiple factors including the volcano's history, magma composition, and gas content. While basaltic lava eruptions are typically less explosive, there can be exceptions.
