Answer:

The contents vary...

Explanation:

Felsic rocks are mainly Feldspar of silica quartz...

Higher content of silica= Felsic

Higher content of iron and metals= Mafic

Mafic rocks are commonly larger and tighter grained which makes them less porous and heavy.

Felsic rocks have larger grains and are more porous making them lighter.
