Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Basaltic rocks erupted at temperature ranges from 1100 celcius - 1200 celcius

A	FALSE
B	TRUE
C	Either A or B
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Common minerals in basalt include olivine, pyroxene, and plagioclase. Basalt is erupted at temperatures between 1100 to 1250 ° C.

Detailed explanation-2: -Basaltic magma is high in iron, magnesium, and calcium but low in potassium and sodium. It ranges in temperature from about 1000oC to 1200oC (1832oF to 2192oF).

Detailed explanation-3: -Temperature of Magmas Basaltic magma-1000 to 1200oC. Andesitic magma-800 to 1000oC. Rhyolitic magma-650 to 800oC.

Detailed explanation-4: -Using thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), they obtained the melting temperature (1291 °C, 1332 °C) and crystallization temperature (1248 °C, 1262 °C) of basalts of varying chemical compositions.
