What is a Magma?
by: Razel M. Ferrer
Magma is a combination of molten rocks
And gases of the Earth's mantle and cores
Temperature ranges from 500-1200 degree Celsius
And mainly comprises of alkaline salts.
Magma vary widely in composition
But in general, only 8 elements are on
Namely oxygen, silicon, aluminum and iron
Potassium, sodium, magnesium and calcium.
The most abundant element in magma is oxygen
Which comprises a little less than half of the total
And over one quarter, followed by silicon
The other one quarter are for other elements in all.
Vast amount of heat causes magma's temperature to rise
In that case, melting point may reach for some minerals
But pressure also plays an important role as well
For materials to melt partial this way.
Magma's properties and composition
Are truly impressive and awesome
But what happens after it was formed?
That's a question, I want to be informed.
