What minerals are common in both felsic and marfic igneous rocks?
Biotite and muscovite micas, quartz, magnetite, olivine, amphiboles, and feldspars.
When granite weathers mechanically what does it turn into?
quartz, feldspar, and mica
Give at least two examples of minerals in each group?
Sure, here are two examples of common minerals in each group: Silicates: Quartz, Feldspar Carbonates: Calcite, Dolomite Sulfates: Gypsum, Barite Halides: Halite, Fluorite Oxides: Hematite, Magnetite Sulfides: Pyrite, Galena Native Elements: Gold, Diamond
What kind of rock did you find?
I found a piece of igneous rock, which is formed from cooled and solidified magma. This rock typically has a crystalline structure and may contain minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica.
Name some non metallic minerals?
Some non-metallic minerals include quartz, gypsum, feldspar, talc, and mica. These minerals are used in various industries such as construction, ceramics, and cosmetics.
What is the mineral composition of arkose?
Arkose is a type of sandstone that contains more than 25% feldspar, along with quartz and other minerals like mica, magnetite, and hematite. The feldspar content gives arkose its distinct pinkish color.

What minerals are common in both felsic and marfic igneous rocks?
Biotite and muscovite micas, quartz, magnetite, olivine, amphiboles, and feldspars.
What mineral does magma turn into when it cools?
Magma solidifies into a combination of minerals that are collectively called igneous rock. Minerals common in igneous rock are potassium feldspar, plagioclase feldspar, muscovite and biotite mica, quartz, hornblende, olivine, and magnetite.
True or false Granite can be pink or black depending on the ratio of feldspar mica and quartz?
True. The color of granite is determined by the presence and ratio of minerals such as feldspar, mica, and quartz. Pink granite typically contains more feldspar, while black granite contains more mica and quartz.
What are the different kinds of siliceous mineral?
quartz, feldspar, and mica.
What rock is made from only feldspar mica and quartz?
Granite.
When granite weathers mechanically what does it turn into?
quartz, feldspar, and mica
What are the four major rocks?
they are quartz, mica, feldspar, and calcite.
Most silicate rocks on earths surface are?
Quartz, feldspar or mica
What minerals are in scoria?
Scoria typically contains minerals such as olivine, plagioclase, pyroxene, and magnetite. Additionally, it may also have glassy material resulting from the rapid cooling of the magma during its formation.
Which is the most abundant feldspar mica quartz calcite?
Quartz is the most abundant mineral among feldspar, mica, and calcite. It is a common mineral found in a wide variety of rock types and environments worldwide.
