  2. Water miscible oil paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_miscible_oil_paint

    Water miscible oil paint. Water-miscible oil paint (also called water-soluble oil paint or water-mixable oil paint) is oil paint either engineered or to which an emulsifier has been added, allowing it to be thinned and cleaned up with water. [1] [2] These paints make it possible to avoid using, or at least reduce volatile organic compounds such ...

  3. Ultramafic rock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultramafic_rock

    Peridotite, a type of ultramafic rock. Ultramafic rocks (also referred to as ultrabasic rocks, although the terms are not wholly equivalent) are igneous and meta-igneous rocks with a very low silica content (less than 45%), generally >18% MgO, high FeO, low potassium, and are composed of usually greater than 90% mafic minerals (dark colored, high magnesium and iron content).

  4. Mafic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafic

    A mafic mineral or rock is a silicate mineral or igneous rock rich in magnesium and iron. 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 ...

  5. Serpentinization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpentinization

    Serpentinization is a form of low-temperature (0 to ~600 °C) [5] metamorphism of ferromagnesian minerals in mafic and ultramafic rocks, such as dunite, harzburgite, or lherzolite. These are rocks low in silica and composed mostly of olivine ((Mg2+, Fe2+)2SiO4), pyroxene (XY (Si,Al)2O6), and chromite (approximately FeCr2O4).

  6. Anorthosite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anorthosite

    Anorthosite (/ əˈnɔːrθəsaɪt /) is a phaneritic, intrusive igneous rock characterized by its composition: mostly plagioclase feldspar (90–100%), with a minimal mafic component (0–10%). Pyroxene, ilmenite, magnetite, and olivine are the mafic minerals most commonly present. Anorthosites are of enormous geologic interest, because it is ...

  7. Serpentinite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpentinite

    Closeup view about 30 cm × 20 cm (12 in × 8 in). Serpentinite is a metamorphic rock composed predominantly of one or more serpentine group minerals formed by near to complete serpentinization of mafic to ultramafic rocks. Its name originated from the similarity of the texture of the rock to that of the skin of a snake. [1]

  8. Fractional crystallization (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_crystallization...

    One example concerns crystallization of melts that form mafic and ultramafic rocks. MgO and SiO 2 concentrations in melts are among the variables that determine whether forsterite olivine or enstatite pyroxene is precipitated, [11] but the water content and pressure are also important. In some compositions, at high pressures without water ...

  9. Ultrapotassic igneous rocks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrapotassic_igneous_rocks

    Ultrapotassic igneous rocks. Ultrapotassic igneous rocks are a class of rare, volumetrically minor, generally ultramafic or mafic silica-depleted igneous rocks. While there are debates on the exact classifications of ultrapotassic rocks, they are defined by using the chemical screens K 2 O/Na 2 O > 3 in much of the scientific literature. [1]
