Volcanoes Guided Reading Key.Read 88-102. Then define the terms.Lava- liquid magma that reaches the surface- makes rock when cooled.Magma-molten mixture of rock, gases, and water in the mantle.Hot Spot-area where magma deep in the mantle melts through the crust
MAGMA COMPOSITION - THE DETERMINING FACTORS.Composition of the source - The composition of the source material is the dominant factor that determines the composition of a primary magma. Pressure, temperature, and factors such as water content play an important but lesser role
