Felsic rocks have a lower melting point than mafic rocks and felsic magma has a lower temperature. In other words, felsic magma is not hot enough to melt mafic rock while mafic magma is hot enough to melt felsic rock.
Correct. The lower the silica content, the more mafic the magma is.
Felsic rocks have 0-15% mafic crystals, while mafic rocks have 46-85% mafic crystals.
It drops from the Mafic Dragon in Mafic.
glass is not an option in mafic
Oceanic crust is mafic.
Mafic, infact it is often refered to as: "the mafic version of pumice"
mafic because it is-dark colored. Ultramafic - no light colored mineral which means it it attracts most heat from a volcano taking it longer to cool down from the lighter, in between substance known as felsic :D
No, we call something mafic if it has a relative low silica content. As quartz is 100% silica, it's not mafic, but felsic.
A low silica magma is called a "mafic" magma.
Composite volcanoes can erupt both mafic and felsic material, but intermediate material is the most common.
Santorini volcano has also and mafic rocks.
