What is the difference between contiental crust and oceanic crust?

What are two types of igneous rock?
Two types of igneous rock are intrusive (also called plutonic) and extrusive. There is also porphyry rock which is partly intrusive and partly extrusive. Porphyry rock has large crystals embedded in a mass of much smaller crystals. The large crystals formed underground as does intrusive rock, and were carried in lava when it erupted. The mass of smaller crystals formed around the large crystals when the lava cooled quickly above ground, as does extrusive rock.
What rocks are volcanoes made up of?
Solid Rock and Magma
What is the for symbol partly cloudy?

How does Basalt differ from granite?
Basalt is an extrusive, mafic igneous rock, which means that it solidifies from lava at or near the surface, and is composed partly of iron and magnesium minerals. Granite is an intrusive felsic igneous rock, meaning that it solidifies from magma below the surface, and is relatively high in minerals containing silicon and aluminum. Basalt has a higher specific gravity than granite, and is also darker than granite. Basalt may have visible air pockets, frozen in place when it solidified from lava. Granite will not exhibit this characteristic. Basalt has mineral crystals that are not visible with the naked eye. Granite has visible mineral crystals.
What forms partly as the result of surface processes?
