the textures are similar yes but gabbro is made up of calcite and olivine while granite contains biotite mica, feldspar, and quartz.

How are the sultan granite different in their Orgin texture and mineral composition and how are they similar?
They are massive, hard and tough in nature. They may resemble each other in terms of color and texture.
What is the same about granite and obsidian?
Obsidian and granite are both igneous rocks. Obsidian is of extrusive origin (which means the magma cooled quickly) and has a glassy texture. Granite is of intrusive origin (which means the magma cooled slowly) and is phaneritic, or coarse grained.y
Why do more mosses and lichens grow on granite than on marble?
Mosses and lichens tend to grow more on granite compared to marble due to differences in their mineral composition and texture. Granite has a coarser texture and contains minerals like feldspar, which provide nutrients for mosses and lichens to thrive. Marble, on the other hand, has a smoother texture and lacks mineral content, making it less suitable for mosses and lichens to establish and grow.
How are igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks classified?
They are classified by origin, method of formation, mineral composition, and texture.
Does granite have luster?
Granite is a rock and does not possess one specific luster but a composition of lusters, mostly glassy. It possesses a coarse grained crystalline texture.

How are basalt and granite different in their Orgin texture and mineral composition and how are they similar?
Both rocks are igneous rock but basalt is an aphanitic igneous rock while granite is a common type of felsic intrusive igneous rock.
Igneous rocks may be similar in mineral composition and yet have different?
Texture or crystal size.
Igneous rocks are classified based upon their mineral composition and?
And their texture, which can be aphanitic, phaneritic, glassy, or porphyritic. mineral composition and crystal texture
Granite and gabbro have?
Have a similar texture
How do two igneous rocks have the same mineral composition but different textures?
The texture of an igneous rock refers to the size of its mineral crystals. If the common magma of both igneous rocks has experienced differences in cooling rates due to depth, they will have different textures. Slow cooling produces large crystals, and quick cooling produces small crystals. Granite and rhyolite are two igneous rocks sharing the same mineral composition, but having undergone different rates of magma cooling due to depth at solidification.
What is the difference between rhyolite and granite?
The difference is the size of grains. Rhyolite is the felsic igneous rock with fine-grained size. Whereas, granite is the equivalent in composition but with coarse-grained size.

What is a zone of soil that have similar composition texture structure and color?
im not sure sorry :C

What are the five ways to define rocks?
color, texture, grains, mineral composition, and origin.
