Is mauna kea mafic or felsic?
As a shield volcano, Mauna Kea erupts mafic lava.
Why are felsic rocks melted by mafic magmas but mafic rocks are not melted by felsic magmas?
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.
This type of magma has low silica content?
Mafic magma has low silica content. It is usually rich in magnesium and iron, leading to its high density and fluid-like behavior. Mafic magmas tend to form basaltic rocks when they solidify.

Is quartz mafic?

What are mafic rocks?
A mafic rock is composed of mafic minerals such as biotite mica, amphibole, proxene, and olivine. The actual word mafic refers to magnesium and iron; nevertheless, these minerals are called ferromagnesian. Mafic rocks include gabbro, scoria, and basalt. They each have about 46-85% mafic mineral crystals. Periodite, 86-100% mafic minerals, is considered ultramafic because of its olivine composition.
The types of magma?
Felsic, intermediate, mafic and ultra mafic are the four broad types of magma.
