What are the characteristics of a felsic and mafic rocks?

Felsic rocks are light-colored, rich in silica and aluminum, and have high viscosity when molten. They contain minerals such as quartz and potassium feldspar. Mafic rocks are dark-colored, rich in magnesium and iron, have low viscosity when molten, and contain minerals like olivine and pyroxene.

What is the viscosity of molten glass?

The viscosity of molten glass can vary depending on its temperature, composition, and other factors. Typically, the viscosity of molten glass is in the range of 10^6 to 10^8 Pa·s, which is much higher than that of water or most other common liquids.

What affects the viscosity of a molten material?

The viscosity of a molten material is affected by factors such as temperature, composition, and any impurities present. Higher temperatures generally decrease viscosity, while certain elements can increase viscosity by forming strong chemical bonds. Impurities tend to disrupt the flow of the material, leading to higher viscosity.


Are rocks formed from molten rocks are igneous rocks?

That is correct.


Molten rocks that cool at the earths surface are known as?

Does solid metal 'float' on molten metal?

No, solid metal typically sinks in molten metal due to its higher density. When a solid metal is placed on top of molten metal, it will usually sink until it reaches a point where its density is equal to that of the molten metal around it.


What is the difference between exclusive and intrusive rocks?

There is no such thing as an "exclusive" rock. However, there are extrusive rocks. These are divisions of igneous rocks, or rocks that form from molten rock. Intrusive rocks form from molten rock that has cooled underground. They can also be called plutonic rocks. Extrusive rocks, also called volcanic rocks, form from molten rock that has formed at or above the surface.
