Question

Light-colored rocks with lower densities form from basaltic magma.
true
or
false

Answer 1

Magma formed from basalt is generally dark in color.

It has a high density as it is composed of iron and magnesium.

It therefore is often dark in color such as black or dark green.

However, magma formed from felsic granite is light in color as it has low density. It may be of gray color.
