∙ 12y agoMafic rock is an example of igneous rock which is dominated by olivine, silicates pyroxene, mica, and amphibole. Common mafic rock samples are basalt and gabbro.
A Mafic rock is a type of igneous rock that is rich in Iron and Magnesium instead of silica. The rocks are also darker in color like Basalt.
Gabbro is a type of mafic, phaneritic igneous rock.
Mafic rock is on average more dense.
These rocks are called mafic igneous rocks, such as basalt. == ==

Mafic magma and rock are higher in density that felsic magma and rock.
Composite volcanoes usually do not erupt mafic material. Intermediate material is the most common. The mafic material they do erupt is usually basalt.
Rhyolite is not a mafic rock, but a felsic rock, high in silicates, and similar to granite in composition.
No. Basalt is a mafic rock.
No. Granite is an intrusive felsic rock.
They can. Composite volcanoes vary in what they erupt. Many composite volcanoes are composed of a mixture of mafic, felsic, and intermediate rock. However, in most cases intermediated or felsic rock predominates.
