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.
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.
Monzonite is an intermediate rock.
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.
Is mineral amphibolite a felsic, mafic or intermidiate in term of color
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.
Rhyolite is not a mafic rock, but a felsic rock, high in silicates, and similar to granite in composition.
Mafic lava is hotter than felsic lava and therefore flows faster.
Felsic minerals are Silicon-rich; whereas Mafic ones are low in Silicon, but contain Iron and Magnesium.
Quartz monzonite ranges from intermediate to felsic.
The mantle is ultramafic.
Mafic and felsic.
Olivine is a mafic mineral. It is most abundant in ultramafic rocks.
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.
