Does paricutin mafic or felsic lava?
Paricutin volcano in Mexico predominantly erupted mafic lava, which is rich in magnesium and iron and has a low silica content. This type of lava tends to flow more easily compared to felsic lava.
Do composite cone volcanoes have mafic lava?
They can. Composite volcanoes vary in what they erupt. Many composite volcanoes are composed of a mixture of mafic, felsic, and intermediate rock. However, in most cases intermediated or felsic rock predominates.
Is quartz monzonite mafic or felsic?
Quartz monzonite ranges from intermediate to felsic.
Do cinder cones erupt felsic or mafic lava?
Composite volcanoes can erupt both mafic and felsic material, but intermediate material is the most common.
Is a limestone 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.

Is mauna loa mafic or felsic?
The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens produced dacite, which has an intermediate-felsic composition.
Is monzonite felsic or mafic?
Monzonite is an intermediate rock.
What are some different types of magma?
Mafic intermediate and Felsic
What are intermediate rocks?
are a mixture of both mafic and felsic rocks
classificatio of igneous rock?
felsic, intermediate, mafic, and ultramafic.
Is sandstone felsic or mafic?
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.
The types of magma?
Felsic, intermediate, mafic and ultra mafic are the four broad types of magma.
