Monzonite is an intermediate rock.
Neither. The terms mafic and felsic refer to the composition of igneous rocks, which are dominated by silicate minerals. Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of carbonate minerals. The terms mafic and felsic do no apply to it.
Rhyolite is not a mafic rock, but a felsic rock, high in silicates, and similar to granite in composition.
Olivine is a mafic mineral. It is most abundant in ultramafic rocks.
NO it is felsic
First of all there is no such thing as a mafic or a felsic "mineral". There can be mafic and felsic rocks.Mafic rocks have a high magnesium and iron content.Felsic rocks enriched with lighter elements such as oxygen and silicon.
Quartz monzonite ranges from intermediate to felsic.
Felsic rocks have a lower melting point than mafic rocks and felsic magma has a lower temperature. In other words, felsic magma is not hot enough to melt mafic rock while mafic magma is hot enough to melt felsic rock.
felsic

Is mineral amphibolite a felsic, mafic or intermidiate in term of color
Olivine is a mafic mineral. It is most abundant in ultramafic rocks.
NO it is felsic
Oceanic crust is mafic.
No. The terms mafic and felsic apply to igneous rocks. Limestone is a sedimentary/biochemical rock and so cannot be said to be mafic, felsic, or intermediate.

Hawaiian lavas are mafic.
