would you be able to suggest a good website for me to answer this question
granite is intrusive , felsic rock, which may be produced by partial melting or fractional crystallization, Explain how these processes produce felsic magmas from more mafic parent magmas (200 words)
would you be able to tell me how i should tackle this please
These two sites may be of some help.

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "granite" to get these possible sources:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granite
http://www.fi.edu/fellows/fellow1/oct98/expert/granite.htm
http://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/vwlessons/lessons/Rocks/Rocks10.html
In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
Also on the uoregon site is AskGeoMan, which has answers to many geology questions.
Easy to find by typing AskGeoMan into Google.
To tackle this question, follow these steps:
1. Start by researching the key terms "granite," "intrusive," and "felsic rock." This will give you a good understanding of the characteristics and composition of granite.
2. Next, learn about the processes of partial melting and fractional crystallization. Understand how these processes occur within magmas and how they can lead to changes in magma composition.
3. Use the information you have gathered to explain how partial melting and fractional crystallization can produce felsic magmas from more mafic parent magmas. Focus on the specific changes in mineral composition, temperature, and chemical elements that occur during these processes.
4. To find reliable sources, you can use academic websites, scholarly articles, or reputable online resources like the ones mentioned above. The websites provided in the previous response can serve as a starting point.
5. Make sure to cite any sources used in your answer using the appropriate referencing style (e.g., APA or MLA).
By following these steps, you should be able to gather the necessary information and effectively explain how partial melting and fractional crystallization produce felsic magmas from more mafic parent magmas.
