Felsic Differentiation

Felsic Differentiation is a geological process within the broader category of magma differentiation that specifically involves the preferential concentration and separation of felsic (silica-rich) components from mafic magmas through fractional crystallization, partial melting, or assimilation, resulting in the progressive formation of granite-like rocks.
