The amount of silica minerals in granite

Explanation:

Granite is an igneous rock with a very light color. Its grains are large and can be seen with unaided eyes. Granite mineral is basically composed of feldspar, Silica, Quartz along with minor amount of other elements like amphiboles and mica.

If we talk about the light color of granite, it is mainly due to large quantity of silica present in it, Infact granite is not always found in one color and can be white, gray or pink. But generally the light color is due to high silica content which makes it very clear and light.

the oxygenated blood then leaves the lungs through pulmonary veins, which return it to the left heart, completing the pulmonary cycle. this blood then enters the left atrium, which pumps it through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. from the left ventricle, the blood passes through the aortic valve to the aorta.

deoxygenated blood leaves through the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery. from the right atrium, the blood is pumped through the tricuspid valve (or right atrioventricular valve), into the right ventricle.
