Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Felsic rocks, such as granite, are major constituents of the continental crust, and make up a significant portion of the Earth's landmass. They commonly occur in mountain ranges and other regions with significant tectonic activity, such as continental collision zones. They are not abundant on the Moon, and do not make up the majority of the ocean floor or volcanic island chains.
