Where in a composite volcano is magma located?

Answer 1

Composite volcanoes can contain virtually any kind of magma ranging from basaltic to rhyolitic. Andesitic magma is the most common. One stratovolcano contains unique carbonatite magma, which is unlike the magma of any other volcano in the world.

Answer 2

Magma is usually not present inside a composite volcano unless it is active. In most cases the magma is stored in a magma chamber a few miles beneath the volcano.

Answer 3

Magma is typically located in the magma chamber beneath the composite volcano. This magma chamber is where the molten rock accumulates before being expelled during an eruption.
