Felsic is a term that means that a rock contains types of silica. Fesic magma is magma that is high in silica particles and low in iron particles.
Felsic magma usually erupts explosively
felsic
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.
Felsic and mafic (basic) magam mix to form intermediate magma.
Mafic magma and Felsic magma.
No. Water lowers the melting point of magma, both mafic and felsic.

Felsic, intermediate, mafic and ultra mafic are the four broad types of magma.
Felsic and mafic (basic) magam mix to form intermediate magma.
Mafic magma and rock are higher in density that felsic magma and rock.
Mauna loa erupts mafic lava.
Mafic magma and Felsic magma.
The two main types of magma are mafic and felsic.
basaltic magma ,Andesitic magma and Rhyolitic magma
Mafic intermediate and Felsic
Not usually. Because it is so viscous, felsic magma does not erupt as easily as mafic magma. While eruptions of felsic magma do occur, most felsic rocks are intrusive, meaning they solidify underground.
No. Water lowers the melting point of magma, both mafic and felsic.
