It is felsic because it is lightly colored. Most rocks that are light are also felsic. The exception is obsidian which is dark and felsic.
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.
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.
Quartz monzonite ranges from intermediate to felsic.
As a shield volcano, Mauna Kea erupts mafic lava.
The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens produced dacite, which has an intermediate-felsic composition.
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.
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.
Felsic minerals are Silicon-rich; whereas Mafic ones are low in Silicon, but contain Iron and Magnesium.
Mafic lava is hotter than felsic lava and therefore flows faster.
Quartz monzonite ranges from intermediate to felsic.
Olivine is a mafic mineral. It is most abundant in ultramafic rocks.
The mantle is ultramafic.
Mafic and felsic.
