No. Scoria is relatively silica poor.
Rhyolite is silica-rich, containing over 70% silica. It is an extrusive igneous rock with a fine-grained texture that forms from the rapid cooling of magma rich in silica content.
Krakatoa is silica-rich, meaning it contains a high amount of silicon dioxide (silica) in its composition. This high silica content is associated with explosive volcanic eruptions due to the interaction between silica and magma.
no its the least silica rich of granitic and andesitic magma.
Not entirely, though it is rather rich in silica.
Mafic, infact it is often refered to as: "the mafic version of pumice"
Rhyolite is a rock type that is categorized by mineral composition. Scoria is a textural rock type. Like, Rhyolite can be smooth, or it can be scoria (sharper, bumpier, lots of vesicles).Think of it as a rock adjective.

silica-rich magma
Silica is sand dust.
no its the least silica rich of granitic and andesitic magma.
Calcite does not contain any silica. It is a carbonate mineral.
Not entirely, though it is rather rich in silica.

Scoria is a volcanic igneous rock that is composed of approximately 50% silica and 10% calcium oxide and lesser contents of potash and soda. Its hardness on the Mohs scale is 5 - 6.
