What planet has low density because it contains of iron and helium?
The planet with the lowest overall density is Saturn.
Why does gabbro have a higher chemical weathering rate than granite?
Gabbro is mafic intrusive igneous rock and contains olivine, pyroxene, plagioclase and amphibole. These minerals are unstable at low pressure temperature conditions. In contrast, granite is felsic intrusive igneous rock and contains high amounts of quartz and orthoclase. Stability of minerals are increasing top to bottom in Bowen's Reaction Series.
What are 3 examples of hexagonal crystals?
Minerals species which crystallize in the hexagonal division are apatite, beryl, and high quartz. Minerals of this division tend to produce hexagonal prisms and pyramids. Example species which crystallize in the rhombohedral division are calcite, dolomite, low quartz, and tourmaline. Such minerals tend to produce rhombohedra and triangular prisms.
Which layer of the Sun's atmosphere contains the cooler low-density gas?
The photosphere.
Which minerals crystallize out of ground water that has been heated by magma?
The Bowen's Reaction Series lists the order of crystallization of minerals from high temperature to low temperature environments, starting with olivine and ending with quartz. See the link below.
What minerals does quarzite have?
Quartz - the term quartzite is applied to to low grade metamorphic rocks formed predomiently of quartz, mostly they are altered sandstones. Alog with the quartz there may be low abundances of many different minerals e.g. mica, or feldspar.
What planet has low density because it contains of iron and helium?
The planet with the lowest overall density is Saturn.
In comparison to a low density lipoprotein a high density lipoprotein contains more cholesterol?
less lipid
What is the density of felsic rocks?
Felsic refers to igneous rocks that are rich in elements that form feldspar and quartz. Their densities vary, depending on the rock, but they generally have low density.

What organ contains special receptors for removing low-density lipoproteins from the circulation?
Liver

Can gabbro contain the moneral quartz?
Although gabbro is low in silica and has no quartz there are quartz gabbro's. Quartz gabbro's are thought to occur from magma that was over-saturated with silica.
Is low density a metal?
Low Density a Metal?NO!!!!
Where is mining most popular in Australia?
Mining is mostly concentrated in WA (Western Australia). This is because of its low population density and abundance of raw minerals.
