NO it is felsic
Granite has more silica than basalt in it.
Rhyolite is not a mafic rock, but a felsic rock, high in silicates, and similar to granite in composition.
Mafic minerals generally have a relatively high density compared to felsic minerals. This is because mafic minerals are rich in iron and magnesium, which are denser elements. As a result, rocks rich in mafic minerals like basalt and gabbro tend to be heavier and denser than rocks composed of felsic minerals like granite.
Sandstone is the odd one out as it is a sedimentary rock, as opposed to granite and basalt which are respectively felsic and mafic igneous rocks.
Mafic rocks are generally more dense than silicic rocks due to their higher content of dense minerals like olivine and pyroxene. Silicic rocks, such as granite, have a lower density and are characterized by their lighter color and lower specific gravity.
No. Granite is an intrusive felsic rock.
Granite and grandiorite are two felsic rocks but I'm seeing that some people cosider granite mafic.
A plutonic rock consisting of oligioclase, microcline and quartz with subordinate muscovite and little or no mafic minerals. An alkali granite with no mafic minerals
Granite has more silica than basalt in it.
Andesite is considered an intermediate rock between granite (felsic igneous rock) and basalt (mafic igneous rock), based on chemical composition.
Rhyolite is not a mafic rock, but a felsic rock, high in silicates, and similar to granite in composition.
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.

No, gabbro has a lower silica content than granite. Gabbro is classified as a mafic rock with silica content ranging from 45-52%, while granite is a felsic rock with higher silica content ranging from 65-75%.
If youre looking for actual rocks, granite and basalt. If yourelooking for type of rock, try felsic or mafic.
