Does rhyolite or basalt have more silica in it?
rhyolite
What has a higher density rhyolite or basalt?
basalt
What is example of igneous rock?
Basalt and pumice.
What type of magma is found on composite volcano?
The average composition of magma in a composite volcano is andesitic. Composite volcanoes are highly variable though. They can erupt anything from basalt to rhyolite.
What type of rock forms when lava solidifies?
Extrusive igneous rock forms from solidifying lava.
What kind of rocks are formed when the magma cools on the earth's surface?
Extrusive igneous rocks such as basalt or rhyolite.
Does rhyolite or basalt have more silica in it?
rhyolite
What has a higher density rhyolite or basalt?
basalt
What has a more felsic composition rhyolite or basalt?
Rhyolite has a more felsic composition than basalt.
What are the magma types in order of decreasing viscosity?
Most viscous Felsic magma i.e. rhyolite Intermediate magma i.e. andersite Mafic magma i.e. Basalt Ultramafic magma i.e. Komatiite Least viscous
Which rock is most felsic out of rhyolite andesite and basalt?
Of these Rhyolite has the highest silica content.
Which has a greater percentage of biotite in it rhyolite or basalt?
basalt
What is example of igneous rock?
Basalt and pumice.
What type of magma is found on composite volcano?
The average composition of magma in a composite volcano is andesitic. Composite volcanoes are highly variable though. They can erupt anything from basalt to rhyolite.
What is the magma?
Magma is molten rock which rises from the mantle and into the crust and may solidify into igneous rock underground (e.g. granite or gabbro) or solidfy above ground (basalt, rhyolite, obsidian). === ===
What type of rock forms when lava solidifies?
Extrusive igneous rock forms from solidifying lava.
Which volcanic rock has the highest level of silicon dioxide rhyolite or basalt?
Rhyolite.
