no it doesnt
Olivine does not contain Gabbro. Gabbro can contain olivine. Usually no more than a few percent.
No. Silicon is the element. Silica is the compound silicon dioxide.
Peridotite, a type of ultramafic rock composed largely of the mineral olivine, has the least silica.Read more: Which_igneous_rock_out_of_granite_basalt_andesite_and_peridotite_has_the_lowest_silica_SiO2_content
No, gabbro does not typically contain mineral quartz. Gabbro is a coarse-grained igneous rock composed primarily of calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene minerals. Quartz is not a common mineral in gabbro; it is more common in granitic rocks.
The mineral assemblage of Rhyolite is usually quartz, alkali feldspar and plagioclase (in a ratio > 1:2) and biotiteand hornblende are common accessory minerals. More importantly quartz has got to comprise more than 69% of the rock.
Following Goldich Dissolution Series (Or going backwards by Bowen's Reaction Series), olivine weathers before Quartz. Quartz has a framework silicate structure and olivine has a isolated silicate structure.
Olivine does not contain Gabbro. Gabbro can contain olivine. Usually no more than a few percent.
They are classified as silicates, one of the more common being the mineral quartz which is composed only of the elements silicon and oxygen (SiO2). Other silicate minerals may include one or more other elements as well in their chemical formula.
If lava contains quartz that means the silica content is high. A high silica content makes lava more viscous, and gives it the tendency to erupt explosively.
this indicates that gold is much more dense than quartz and olivine
It will be lighter. Because the silica makes the rocks explode from the valcanos. The only rock that has height silica content and is dark is Quartz.
No because, Like fossil fuels, silica (found in the world's sands and quartz) is a non-renewable, finite resource. However, silica is a far more plentiful resource.
No. Silicon is the element. Silica is the compound silicon dioxide.
The most abundant minerals in granite are potassium feldspar, plagioclase feldspar, and quartz; with differing amounts of muscovite, biotite, and hornblende-type amphiboles. The most abundant minerals in basalt are amphibole and pyroxene, sometimes plagioclase, feldspathoids, and/or olivine. In other words, no.
Chemically it is Silica - Silicon Dioxide - the main constituent of glass. Quartz is piezo-electric and was used in early sonar transducers, but modern sonar uses synthetic ceramics that are far more sensitive and efficient. (NB: don't be taken in by the purveyors of quartz "healing crystals" who seem to have latched onto this property: their claims for itare pure fraud.) Decoratively, silica is the base part of semi-preciousmineral compounds (metal-silicates).
