- Magma is composed of rock melted beneath the Earths surface and will cool quickly when it reaches water or air.
- Magma is ranged in temperature between 700 and 1,300 degrees Celsius or 1,292 and 2,372 degrees Fahrenheit.
- There are primarily three types of rock that may be melted in to magma. These rocks ore Basalt, Andesite, and Rhyolite.
- The density of Basaltic magma is between 2,650 and 2,800 (kg/m)
- The density of Andesitic magma is between 2,450 and 2,500 (kg/m)
- The density of Rhyolitic magma is between 2,180 and 2,250 (kg/m)
- The viscosity of Basaltic magma is low, Andesitic is in between high and low making it intermediate, and Rhyolitic is high.
