Nov 23, 2016 0183 32 Granite is formed within the crust of the Earth when Felsic magma, that is magma that is rich in Silica, cools down without reaching the surface Because it remains beneath the surface as it is cooling it forms large crystals ie, you can see the ....

Aug 13, 2018 0183 32 Granitoids also have dark minerals, sometimes quite a lot and sometimes hardly any Usually, feldspar-plus-quartz dominates, and geologists call granitoids felsic rocks in recognition of this A true granite can be rather dark, but if you ignore the dark minerals and assess only the felsic component, it can still be properly classified...
