Mafic rock - Mafic rock

Japanese: マフィック岩 - マフィックがん(英語表記)mafic rock
Mafic rock - Mafic rock
This refers to rocks that contain a lot of mafic minerals (rich in iron and magnesium), and is often used in reference to igneous rocks. It is also called mafic rock. It refers to rocks that contain about 40 to 70% mafic minerals. Even in the case of amorphous rocks, those that are rich in mafic components, such as normative femic minerals, are called mafic rocks. Mafic rocks are often used almost synonymously with basic rocks in the classification of rocks based on SiO2 content. The main mafic fine-grained igneous rocks (volcanic rocks) are basalt and basanite, the main medium-grained igneous rocks are dolerite, and the main coarse-grained igneous rocks are gabbro.

Japanese:
マフィック(鉄,マグネシウム(苦)に富む)鉱物を多く含む岩石のことで,火成岩に対して用いられることが多い。苦鉄質岩ともいう。マフィック鉱物の量は40~70%ぐらいのものを指す。非結晶質岩の場合でもその化学組成がマフィック成分,例えばノルムのフェミック鉱物に富むものはマフィック岩と呼ばれる。マフィック岩はしばしばSiO2量による岩石の分類における塩基性岩とほぼ同義語に用いられる。マフィック細粒火成岩(火山岩)としては玄武岩やベイサナイトbasanite,同中粒火成岩としては粗粒玄武岩,同粗粒火成岩としては斑レイ岩などがおもなものである。
