La notion d’acidité, quelque peu ambiguë pour les roches, a été introduite au milieu du siècle dernier par Élie de Beaumont qui, en fonction de la teneur en SiO2 distingue les roches acides [plus de 65 %], les roches intermédiaires [entre 52 et 65 %], les roches basiques [entre 45 et 52 %] et les roches ultra-basiques [moins de 45 %]. 5, record 1, French, - roche%20acide
