Which minerals are not present in felsic type igneous rocks but are present in mafic type igneous rocks?
Minerals which contain much magnesium and iron, like olivine and pyroxene.
What is lava rich in?
Depending on the lava type, they can be rich in silicon, aluminum, magnesium, potassium, iron, sodium, and calcium.
How are light colored igneous rocks different?
Igneous rocks are divided into four groups based on their composition (often determined by observing density and color).Felsic (also called Silicic) igneous rocks have a lower density, and are generally lighter in color (white, tan, pink). They have a higher silica content and a lower iron and magnesium content than the other types of rock. Granite and rhyolite are felsic igneous rocks.Intermediate igneous rocks have a density between felsic and mafic rocks. They have a high silica content and a medium iron and magnesium content. These rocks are usually gray or a similar, medium-toned color. Andesite and diorite are intermediate igneous rocks.Mafic igneous rocks are quite dense, and have a much higher iron and magnesium content than felsic or intermediate igneous rocks. Mafic rocks are usually black or blackish. Gabbro and basalt are mafic igneous rocks.Ultramafic igneous rocks are the densest type, and have the highest iron and magnesium content. Ultramafic rocks are usually (surprise!) green. Peridotite is an ultramafic igneous rock.
What type of rock is arrowhead sedimentry igneous or metamorphic?

What metal is used in car wheels?
Depending on the type of racing, wheels can be steel, aluminum, magnesium, or carbon fiber

Is magnalite cookware considered reactive?
This type of cookware is made of aluminum which is a reactive and soft metal. During cooking, the aluminum can leech to the food being prepared.

What is a mafic rock and what color is it?
A Mafic rock is a type of igneous rock that is rich in Iron and Magnesium instead of silica. The rocks are also darker in color like Basalt.
What type of mixture is a mix of magnesium and aluminum to make lightweight airplane parts?
Magnesium alloys are mixtures of magnesium with other metals (called an alloy) Magnesium is the lightest structural metal. A mixture ratio of aluminium (3 to 13 per cent) and manganese (0.1 to 0.4 per cent) is used.
What is felsite?
An igneous rock containing mostly feldspar and quartz.
