Answer:

Mafic or basaltic lavas are typified by their high ferromagnesian content and generally erupt at temperatures in excess of 950 °C (1,740 °F). Basaltic magma is high in iron and magnesium and has relatively lower aluminium and silica, which taken together reduces the degree of polymerization within the melt
