Neither. The terms mafic and felsic refer to the composition of igneous rocks, which are dominated by silicate minerals. Rock salt is a sedimentary halide rock. Such terms do not apply to it.
Rhyolite is not a mafic rock, but a felsic rock, high in silicates, and similar to granite in composition.
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.
No, gabbro is not a felsic rock. Gabbro is classified as a mafic rock due to its dark color and high content of iron and magnesium minerals, while felsic rocks are light-colored and have a higher silica content.
No, granite is not considered mafic. It is an igneous rock that is classified as felsic due to its high silica content and lower concentration of iron and magnesium minerals compared to mafic rocks like basalt.
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.
Rhyolite is not a mafic rock, but a felsic rock, high in silicates, and similar to granite in composition.
Mafic and felsic.
No. Granite is an intrusive felsic rock.
Monzonite is an intermediate rock.
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.
felsic, intermediate, mafic, and ultramafic.
No, basalt is not an example of a felsic rock. Basalt is an example of a mafic rock, which is rich in iron and magnesium and typically dark in color. Felsic rocks, on the other hand, are rich in silica and aluminum and are lighter in color.
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.
No, gabbro is not a felsic rock. Gabbro is classified as a mafic rock due to its dark color and high content of iron and magnesium minerals, while felsic rocks are light-colored and have a higher silica content.
No, granite is not considered mafic. It is an igneous rock that is classified as felsic due to its high silica content and lower concentration of iron and magnesium minerals compared to mafic rocks like basalt.
Coal is neither mafic nor felsic, as these terms are typically used to describe igneous rocks based on their silica content. Coal is a sedimentary rock that forms from the accumulation and burial of plant material.
