  2. Tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonalite–trondhjemite...

    The mafic minerals in the TTG rock body, possibly biotite, were weathered, which introduced a brownish coating on the TTG rock surface. Tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite ( TTG ) rocks are intrusive rocks with typical granitic composition ( quartz and feldspar ) but containing only a small portion of potassium feldspar .

  3. Diorite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diorite

    Diorite results from the partial melting of a mafic rock above a subduction zone. It is found in volcanic arcs , and in cordilleran mountain building , such as in the Andes Mountains . However, while its extrusive volcanic equivalent, andesite, is common in these settings, diorite is a minor component of the plutonic rocks, which are mostly ...

    Hair ice looks like incredibly fine, billowing strands massed together. Lasting merely hours or only a few days before melting, its exact cause has been a mystery for nearly 100 years.

  6. Alkali feldspar granite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali_feldspar_granite

    Alkali feldspar granite, some varieties of which are called 'red granite', [1] is a felsic igneous rock and a type of granite rich in the mineral potassium feldspar (K-spar). It is a dense rock with a phaneritic texture. The abundance of K-spar gives the rock a predominant pink to reddish hue; peppered with minor amounts of black minerals. [2] [3]

  7. Felsic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felsic

    Felsic magmas and lavas have lower temperatures of melting and solidification than mafic magmas and lavas. Felsic rocks are usually light in color and have specific gravities less than 3. The most common felsic rock is granite. Common felsic minerals include quartz, muscovite, orthoclase, and the sodium-rich plagioclase feldspars (albite-rich).
