Composite cone The hallmark of a composite cone composition is the mixture of cinder cone characteristics (granitic debris, very steep cone profile, and explosive eruptions) with shield cone characteristics (large footprint with gently sloping sides, basaltic debris, and lava flows).

Why are granitic magmas thicker than basaltic magmas?
granitic magmas contain more silica than basaltic magmas.
When equal amounts of a basaltic and granitic magma mix what is the resulting magma?
basaltic
Is basaltic magma or granitic magma hotter?
Baslatic magma is hotter.
Is lava butte basaltic or granitic lava flow?
A lava butte is generally basaltic lava. Granitic lava flows (called rhyolitic when they form at the surface) are rare and do not cover much ground.
Does basaltic magma have a lot of silica or very little?
Basaltic magma is low in silica compared to andesitic or granitic magma.
Copper is found in what type of rock?
Copper can be found in Granitic and Basaltic rocks.
Why are granitic magmas thicker than basaltic magmas?
granitic magmas contain more silica than basaltic magmas.
Is granitic magma dark or light?
granitic is light, basaltic is dark.
When equal amounts of a basaltic and granitic magma mix what is the resulting magma?
basaltic
Is basaltic magma or granitic magma hotter?
Baslatic magma is hotter.
Why are granitic igneous rocks lighter in color than basaltic rocks?
Because granitic rocks are poor in iron and magnesium, which gives basaltic rocks it dark color.
Is lava butte basaltic or granitic lava flow?
A lava butte is generally basaltic lava. Granitic lava flows (called rhyolitic when they form at the surface) are rare and do not cover much ground.
Does basaltic magma have a lot of silica or very little?
Basaltic magma is low in silica compared to andesitic or granitic magma.
What two layers of the earth is made of rocks?
the hard parts
Andesitic rocks have mineral compositions between those of basaltic rocks and?
granitic
Is basaltic magma wet or dry?
Granitic magma is wet.
Why are granitic igneous rocks light in color?
granitic igneous rocks are light colored because of a lower density than basaltic rocks
