have formed from the cooling of magma. Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been altered. Amphibole etc. These are types of minerals that are part of the recipe of igneous rocks. Plutonic: cooled beneath the earth surface Felsic: more feldspar mineral and more silica Mafic – more magnesium and iron rich minerals. Peridotite – the rock that forms in the mantle – lots of minerals olivine and pyroxene. Shallower crust. Mafic – so magnesium and iron rich (ferric) minerals that we’ll
