Basaltic Magma Composition

Basaltic Magma Composition is a geochemical classification of magma characterized by its low silica content, high iron and magnesium concentrations, and origin from partial melting of the upper mantle, distinguishing it from intermediate or felsic magma compositions in volcanic systems.
