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).
What else can I help you with?
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.
Why are granitic igneous rocks light in color?
granitic igneous rocks are light colored because of a lower density than basaltic rocks
Why are granitic magmas thicker than basaltic magmas?
Granitic magmas are thicker than basaltic magmas because they have higher silica content, which increases viscosity. The higher silica content leads to stronger bonding between the silica tetrahedra, making it more difficult for the magma to flow. Basaltic magmas, on the other hand, have lower silica content and are less viscous, allowing them to flow more easily.
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.
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.
Why are granitic igneous rocks light in color?
granitic igneous rocks are light colored because of a lower density than basaltic rocks
Why are granitic igneous rocks lighter in color than basaltic rocks?
Granitic igneous rocks are lighter in color than basaltic rocks because they contain more quartz and feldspar minerals, which are typically light in color. Basaltic rocks, on the other hand, contain more dark-colored minerals like pyroxene and olivine, giving them a darker color.
Do cinder cone volcanoes have granitic magma?
No. Cinder cones are formed by basaltic magma.
What do basaltic and granitic magmas have in common?
Basalt and Granite are both made from the same magma.
Why are granitic magmas thicker than basaltic magmas?
Granitic magmas are thicker than basaltic magmas because they have higher silica content, which increases viscosity. The higher silica content leads to stronger bonding between the silica tetrahedra, making it more difficult for the magma to flow. Basaltic magmas, on the other hand, have lower silica content and are less viscous, allowing them to flow more easily.
What kind of rock makes up the continental drift?
Lithospheric rocks, (Basaltic and Granitic rocks)
What kind of magma does Yellowstone have?
The magma is primarily granitic/rhyolitic, but there are occasional basaltic lava flows.
What is the type of magma does mt st helen have?
it is basaltic, granitic i dont know which one but one of them i think
