Mafic rocks
like basalt are magnesium and iron (ferric) rich,
usually from deeper in the earth and
are also more black.
They're also a lot more dense/heavy than felsic rock.
Felsic rocks
like granite are feldspar and silica rich,
are often lighter in color and
come from the crust because
they're a lot less dense than other rocks.
