Mafic enclave in granite rock, at Yosemite National Park Granite forms from silica-rich ( felsic ) magmas. Felsic magmas are thought to form by addition of heat or water vapor to rock of the lower crust , rather than by decompression of mantle rock, as is the case with basaltic magmas. [ 19 ]
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]
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).
We know that getting too much sun isn’t good for your skin. So, if you have bald patches, use sunscreen or a hat to protect areas of your skin with noticeable hair loss from UV-related damage.
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.
The Vishnu Basement Rocks were deposited as mafic and felsic volcanic rocks and sediments but were later metamorphosed and intruded by igneous rock. The Vishnu Basement Rocks is the name recommended for all Early Proterozoic crystalline rocks ( metamorphic and igneous ) exposed in the Grand Canyon region.
Camp agreed that the long-term risk of toasted skin syndrome is the "development of malignancies," like certain cancers, in affected areas due to damaged skin cells.
