Iron-rich igneous rocks are generally denser than silica-rich igneous rocks. This is because iron and magnesium minerals, which are abundant in iron-rich rocks, have a higher specific gravity compared to the lighter silica-rich minerals such as quartz. As a result, rocks like basalt, which are rich in iron and magnesium, are denser than rocks like granite, which are high in silica.
