Felsic magma refers to those magma that are comprised of more than 65% of silica content and are highly made up lighter elements like oxygen, silicon, sodium, aluminum, potassium, and are light-colored in comparison to the basic magma. Due to its high silica content, these are high viscosity magma and flows at a much slower rate. The felsic magma crystallizes at a relatively low-temperature rocks and the rocks that are formed from this type of magma have a specific gravity of less than 3.
