What minerals does the rock granite always contain?
Granite always contains the minerals quartz, feldspar (potassium feldspar or plagioclase feldspar), and mica (biotite or muscovite). These minerals give granite its characteristic appearance and properties.
Which rock is made up of less dense minerals like quartz and feldspar?
Granite
What is an unidentified light-colored igneous rock is made up of orthoclase feldspar and quartz?
The unidentified light-colored igneous rock composed of orthoclase feldspar and quartz is likely a type of granite. Granite is a coarse-grained rock that typically contains a significant amount of quartz and feldspar, giving it a light color. The presence of orthoclase feldspar, in particular, suggests a granitic composition, as this mineral is a common constituent of such rocks. Other minerals may also be present, but the dominant components indicate it is likely a granitic rock.
Which igneous rock is composed of coarse grained crystals of quartz feldspar and mica?
Felsic igneous rocks (the lightest in color) are comprised mostly of quartz and potassium feldspar. Intermediate igneous rocks (somewhat darker than felsic) are made up of some quartz and potassium feldspar, but mostly plagioclase feldspar.
A very hard igneous rock containing quartz and feldspar?
The rock you are referring to is likely granite. Granite is a commonly occurring igneous rock that contains minerals such as quartz and feldspar. Due to its durability and resistance to weathering, granite is often used in construction for countertops, monuments, and building facades.
What is another name for quartz?
Another name for quartz is rock crystal.
Quartz and potassium feldspar grains are the main constituents of which rock?
Granite is the rock composed mainly of quartz and potassium feldspar grains.
Name two minerals that form rock?
Quartz and feldspar are two common minerals that form rocks. Quartz is often found in granite while feldspar is found in both granite and basalt.
What rock is made from only feldspar mica and quartz?
Granite.
Which two rocks are composed primarily of quartz feldspar and clay minerals?
The two rocks primarily composed of quartz, feldspar, and clay minerals are granite and shale. Granite is an igneous rock with visible quartz and feldspar crystals, while shale is a sedimentary rock formed from compacted clay minerals.
Which two rocks are composed-primarily of quartz feldspar and clay minerals?
rock salt and conglomerate

What greyish igneous rock contains plagioclase feldspar and small amounts of quartz and olivene?
None, you don't get quartz and olivine in the same igneous rock.
What minerals does the rock granite always contain?
Granite always contains the minerals quartz, feldspar (potassium feldspar or plagioclase feldspar), and mica (biotite or muscovite). These minerals give granite its characteristic appearance and properties.
Is feldspar heavy?
Feldspar is a 6 on the hardness level and diamond is the hardest t 10. Feldspar is not very heavy- about the weight of granite or quartz (the average rock)
