Answer to Question 1

Answer: Primary magmas are generated through the partial melting of ultramafic rock. This makes a mafic magma. As this magma rises due to lower density, the ferromagnesian crystals will settle out, resulting in a more silica-rich, felsic, or intermediate magma. This would be the secondary magma.
