Magma is a complex high-temperature fluid substance. Temperatures of most magmas are in the range 700 °C to 1300 °C (or 1300 °F to 2400 °F), but very rare carbonatite melts may be as cool as 600 °C, and komatiite melts may have been as hot as 1600 °C. Most are silicate mixturess.

How hot is magma in fahrenheit?

Mount Fuji is fed by basaltic magma, which generally ranges in temperature between 1,000 and 1,200 degrees Celsius or 1,830 to 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit.


What temperature does magma solidify?

The composition of the magma effects the temperature it will cool and solidify at. In general most magma solidify at about 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit.


What does the temperature have on the characteristics of magma?

Temperature, among other factors, effects the viscosity(thickness) of magma. However, for the most part, the temperature of magma is relatively consistent because magma is the type of molten rock that has not yet exited the volcano, so there are fewer factors to effect the temperature.


What temperature is required to turn a rock into magma?

To turn a rock into magma, temperatures typically need to reach around 700 to 1,300 degrees Celsius (1,292 to 2,372 degrees Fahrenheit). This temperature range varies depending on the mineral composition of the rock. At these high temperatures, the minerals in the rock begin to melt, transforming it into molten rock, or magma.


How many degrees is magma?

Magma is usually 1300 to 2400 degrees F (600 to 1300 degrees C)


How do temperature pressure and fluid content affect the formation of magma?

The air affects magma. Once magma is released above ground, called lava, the air hardens it. While it is underground, the higher the temperature and pressure, the runnier the magma.


Does temperature does temperature affect viscosity of magma?

High temperature=low viscosityLow temperature=high viscosity


What affects the type of igneous rock that is formed?

Mineral composition of the magma, Rate of cooling of the magma, Temperature of the magma, Presence of volatiles and Amount of water present in the magma.


How does temperature affect viscosity magma?

Does temperature affect viscosity of magma?

High temperature=low viscosityLow temperature=high viscosity


The viscosity of magma depends upon its silica content and its?

temperature. Magma with higher silica content tends to have higher viscosity, while temperature can also affect viscosity by influencing the mobility of the magma's mineral components.


What the difference in temperature between magma and the sun?

The temperature of magma typically ranges between 700°C to 1300°C, while the surface temperature of the sun is around 5500°C. Therefore, the sun's temperature is significantly higher than that of magma.
