which type of magma is hotter basaltic or rhyolitic
Basaltic magma is hotter, denser, and less viscous than most other  types of lava. It is poor in silica and rich in iron and magnesium.  Eruptions involving it are typically â¦ non explosive or only mildly  explosive.It is less dense, more viscous, and cooler than most other types of  magma. It usually has a very high gas content, meaning that most  eruptions involving it will be highly explosive. Most  supervolcanoes are fed by rhyolitic magma.
