What are dark colored igneous rocks called?
Granitic igneous rocks are light colored rocks of a low density. Granitic magma is thick and stiff and contains a lot of silicon and oxygen. Granitic magma can build up a great deal of pressure, which is released during violent volcanic eruptions.
Does Light-colored rocks with lower densities form from basaltic magma?
Basaltic Magmas are dark colored, heavy and are ferromagnesian in composition, so they most times do not form light colored rocks, rather, the Felsic Granitic Magma forms the light colored rocks with lower densities.
What magma is silica-rich thick magma?
An acid magma or a granitic magma.
Is basaltic magma or granitic magma hotter?
Baslatic magma is hotter.
What color is granitic magma?
PURPLE
What type of magma is primarily associated with high viscosity?
Granitic magma
What large-grained light-colored rock forms deep inside Earth and is composed of magma?
granite or granitic
What does granitic magma contain a lot of?
Silica.
When equal amounts of a basaltic and granitic magma mix what is the resulting magma?
basaltic
Is basaltic magma wet or dry?
Granitic magma is wet.
How does a Granite rock and a Gabbro rock differ from each other?
The counterpart of Granite is Rhyolite,the counterpart of Gabbro is Basalt. Gabbro is mafic(Dark coloured) ,Granite is felsic (light coloured) Granite forms from magma of Granitic composition while Gabbro forms from magma of Basaltic composition.
Is granitic magma very silica-rich.?
Yes
