Is felsite intrusive?
Yes
Is felsite extrusive or intrusive?
Extrusive
Where is a common place to find Felsite?
A volcano
How is felsite rock formed?
Felsite is formed by the compaction of fine volcanic ash. It is similar to obsidian and rhyolite. This stone is sometimes used for stone tools.
True or false igneous rocks are formed into layers?
No. Igneous rocks were NOT formed in layers. I took a test and they are not formed in layers. This is what the paragraph said {The Word "igneous" means made from fire or heat. All igneous rocks have been formed by heat. Deep in the earth it is very hot. The rocks and minerals there have been changed into molten rock called "magma". This hot material sometimes rises to the earths surface through fissures or cracks caused by earthquakes, volcanoes or other deep movements of the earth's crust. Igneous rocks are formed when magma cools and hardens. Scientists divide igneous rocks into two group. They are called "extrusive" rocks and "intrusive" rocks. When magma hardens below the suface of the earth, surrounded by older rocks which it has invaded, the rock is called "intusive" igeous rock. If magma reaches the surface of the earth, however, it becomes lava, and the rock is called "extusive" igneous rock. Lava is a common igneous rock. The namelava can mean molten rock or cool hard rock. The two most common and important igneous rocks are granite and basalt. Some others are diorite, felsite, pumice and obsidian.} thank you! that was fun, and your welcome. bye!

How could you tell if a volcano makes felsite or basalt lava?
Thin lava
Does a composite volcano have felsic or mafic lava?
Volcanic eruptions range from explosive to quiet depending on the viscosity of the magma & the amount of dissolved gases. Felsite volcanoes are the most viscous & the most explosives. The explosive products from a volcano are called pyroclastic rocks. Thus the most explosive volcano are those whose composition is felsitic.This viscous felsite may plug the vocano, causing the pressure to build within it. When the pressure becomes great, an explosive eruption will occur. That is how composite volcoanos are formed.
