Answer:

  • Rhyolitic magma - It has the highest viscosity due to its high silica content and low temperature.
  • Andesitic magma - It has a medium viscosity due to its moderate silica content and temperature.
  • Basaltic magma - It has the lowest viscosity due to its low silica content and high temperature.
