The statement is true: granitic magma is very silica-rich, typically comprising about 65-75% silica. This high silica content leads to the formation of lighter-colored felsic rocks like granite and has implications for the viscosity and eruption styles of the magma. Thus, understanding the silica content helps explain magma behavior in geological processes.
