Rhyolitic Magma | Types of Magma
In this lesson, we'll talk about another type of magma called rhyolitic.
The table above already has pretty much everything about these types of magma. That's why it is kept through these blogs.
Rhyolitic magma is a type of magma formed by differentiation from basaltic magma in combination with assimilation of siliceous material, orby melting of portions of the earth's sialic layer.
It has the eruption temperature of 650 to 800 degress Celcius, as laboratory measurement and limited field observation indicate.
It has high viscosity, and fuels most explosive volcanoes.
