Light colored igneous rock is called felsic, it is high in quartz, muscovite mica, and orthoclase feldspar content. Dark colored igneous rock is called mafic, and contains a lesser amount of silica along with olivine, pyroxene, amphibole, biotite mica, and plagioclase feldspa
<span>Light coloured igneous rocks (felsic) tend to have greater silica and aluminum content and a lower iron and magnesium content than dark (mafic) rocks.</span>
The most appropriate answer would be magma. Lava is a magma that reaches the Earth's surface, which is technically it is also a magma, and magma is located below the Earth's surface.
Lava at Earth's surface or magma below Earth's surface cools and harden to form mineral crystals.
Sand, rocks, and sediment could be carried(erosion) by wind and water
The density of an object or quantity of matter is its mass divided by its volume. ... Non-standard conditions can result in a change of volume, affecting the density of the materials. Also, certain temperatures and pressures can result in a change the state of the matter, which also affects the density.
