it can mean two things, (1)mineralogical composition or (2)Chemical composition
An igneous rock is any crystalline or glassy rock that forms from cooling of a magma. Color and texture help determine the chemical composition of the rock.
Andesite is considered an intermediate rock between granite (felsic igneous rock) and basalt (mafic igneous rock), based on chemical composition.
Extrusive igneous rocks. The type of extrusive igneous rock is determined by the composition of the lava.
Yes. Felsic is a term used to describe the composition of some igneous rocks.
A volcano is made of extrusive igneous rock. The specific type of igneous rock will vary from one volcano to another.
Igneous rock composition basically means how the rock would look if you were to cut it in half. In the case of igneous rock, you would see the different layers of rocks that have melted with it.

Extrusive igneous rocks. The type of extrusive igneous rock is determined by the composition of the lava.
The mantle is made of ultramafic igneous rock.
Lava will cool to form extrusive igneous rock. The exact type would depend on the composition of the lava.
The chemical composition of the rock affects the color of an igneous rockbecause some minerals like quartz change color becasue of t's own
Yes. Felsic is a term used to describe the composition of some igneous rocks.
Andesitic igneous rock.
"Igneous" is a general classification, not a specific type of rock. The hardness values vary depending on the exact composition.
Both are intrusive igneous rock, mafic in composition.
