Which rock has more silica in it likely to be lighter or darker than a rock with less silica in it?
A rock with more silica is likely to be lighter in color, such as light gray or white, due to the presence of minerals like quartz. In contrast, a rock with less silica tends to be darker, as it is typically composed of minerals like mafic minerals (e.g., biotite, amphibole) that give it a darker hue.
Why are a horizons darker than b or c horizons?
A horizons are darker than B or C horizons because they contain more organic matter and are richer in nutrients. The organic matter in A horizons contributes to increased soil fertility, which supports higher plant growth. B and C horizons have less organic matter and are more mineral-rich, which makes them lighter in color.
Why is the top layer of soil darker than the other layers?
The top layer of soil, known as topsoil, is darker because it contains more organic matter such as decomposed plants and animals. This organic matter helps to enrich the soil, providing nutrients for plants to grow. As you move further down into the soil profile, there is less organic matter and the soil tends to become lighter in color.
What rock makes up the bright white lunar highlands?
The bright white lunar highlands are primarily composed of anorthosite, a type of rock rich in a mineral called plagioclase feldspar. Anorthosite is formed from the cooling of magma on the Moon's surface and is lighter in color compared to the darker basaltic rocks found in the lunar maria.
What is the Light colored rock that makes up the continental crust?

In general how does the density of a light colored igneous rock differ from that of a dark colored igneous rock?
Light-coloured igneous rocks, such as granite, have a higher silica content and lower iron and magnesium than darker ones, such as basalt. Since iron and magnesium are very dense minerals, this makes darker igneous rocks more dense than lighter ones.
