What generally describes granite?
as dark colored rock with low silica content
In general how does the density of a light colored igneous rock differ from that of a dark colored igneous rock?
Light-coloured igneous rocks, such as granite, have a higher silica content and lower iron and magnesium than darker ones, such as basalt. Since iron and magnesium are very dense minerals, this makes darker igneous rocks more dense than lighter ones.

What color is a gneiss rock?
Granite is felsic on the color index. It is largely composed of potassium feldspar and quartz.
IS granite low in silica and dark colored?
Granite can exist in several colors. The colors are based on the ratio of feldspar, quartz, and mica.
How does the density of a light colored rock differ from the density of dark colored rock?
Normally, light colored igneous rocks are less dense compared to dark colored igneous rocks. This is because the light colored rocks have a less iron in them.
Do dark colored materials absorb less radiant energy than light-colored materials?
I would say that the dark-colored would absorb moreradiant energy than the light-colored materials because the light-colored reflects...
Why do dark colored shirts get hotter in the sun light colored shirts?
Dark-colored shirts reflect less radiation.

What kind of rocks make up most of the igneous group?
Basalt and other dark colored igneous rocks are the most with % of 66% and granite and other light to medium colored igneous rocks fill the other half with 44%
Is this a description for gneiss rock can be made from granite wavy bands of dark and light layers?
Yes. This metamorphic rock can be made from granite; wavy bands of dark and light layers.
Why do light colored objects feel cooler than dark colored objects?
Because dark colours absorbs light/heat, while light colours reflect light/heat.
