Ferromagnesian minerals are minerals that have iron or magnesium in their structure. The greater specific gravity is between 3.2 and 3.6. Some examples are pyroxene, biotite, garnet, and olvine.

Most mafic minerals are dark in color, and common rock-forming mafic minerals include olivine, pyroxene, amphibole, and biotite. Common mafic rocks include basalt, diabase and gabbro. Mafic rocks often also contain calcium-rich varieties of plagioclase feldspar.

Mnenie [13.5K]

The correct answer is seismic waves.  

A sudden movement of the Earth's crust followed by the production of seismic waves is known as an earthquake. The seismic waves travel outwards from the source. The sudden vibration or ground motion is generated due to a brisk discharge of accumulated energy.  

The vibrations, which travel via Earth carrying the energy discharged at the time of an earthquake is known as seismic waves. The earthquakes are usually determined with a help of seismometer, called seismograph.
