Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Felsic igneous rocks are rich in silicate minerals, such as quartz and feldspar, and generally have a light coloration. They also have a high melting temperature, which allows them to form deep in the Earth's crust. While they can be weathered, they are generally more resistant to weathering than mafic igneous rocks.
