Felsic magma is very viscous, so if often gets "stuck" in plutons rather than erupting.
No Granites are usually intrusive rocks.
The first ferromagnesian mineral to crystallize is usually olivine, followed by pyroxene and amphibole. Among the feldspars, plagioclase feldspar is usually the first to crystallize, followed by potassium feldspar.
Granite usually metamorphoses into gneiss.
In solidifying igneous rock, usually quartz.
The surface of the wall is the surface you usually want to paint.
Felsic rocks are usually intrusive, meaning they form below the Earth's surface from magma that cools and solidifies slowly. This slow cooling allows minerals such as quartz and feldspar to crystallize and form coarse-grained textures commonly seen in intrusive rocks like granite.
Travelers usually have multiple options for reaching a destination.
Intrusive rocks, also called plutonic rocks, cool slowly without ever reaching the surface. They have large crystals that are usually visible without a microscope. This surface is known as a phaneritic texture. Perhaps the best-known phaneritic rock is granite
Feldspars are a group of common rock forming mineralsthat can appear in all rock types. The term 'extrusive' is usually used to describe an igneous rock that has formed on or near the surface.
Not usually unless you have a microscope. Crystals in baslat are usually microscopic. However, in some cases basalt may have a porphyritic texture, where some minerals in the magma have started to crystallize before the eruption.

The internal friction angle of granitic rock typically ranges from 30 to 45 degrees, with an average value around 35 degrees. This value may vary depending on factors such as mineral composition, weathering, and confining pressure. Granitic rocks are generally considered to have good strength and stability due to their high internal friction angle.
