What igneous rock forms from granite?
Granite is already an igneous rock. If the granite simply melts and re-solidifies it will become granite again. If it melts and is erupted from a volcano, it will form rhyolite. If it melts and mixes with magma of a different composition, then it could form any number of igneous rocks.
What igneous rock is made up of mica feldspar and quartz?
The igneous rock most likely described is granite, which is composed predominantly of mica (specifically muscovite or biotite), feldspar, and quartz. This rock type forms from the cooling and crystallization of molten magma deep within the Earth's crust.
Is granite a glassy igneous rock?
No, granite is a coarse-grained igneous rock that is made up of minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica. Glassy igneous rocks, like obsidian, form when molten lava cools quickly on the surface, resulting in a smooth, glass-like texture.
Could igneous granite float?
No, but pumice can.
What color is a igneous rock?
It could be Granite.
What is a light colored igneous rock?
It could be Granite.
What is dark fine-textured rock?
Could be basalt, an extrusive igneous rock.
What is a black intrusive rock with small crystals?
Intrusive rock normally has visible crystals. Extrusive igneous rock has small crystals. A black extrusive igneous rock with small crystals could be basalt.
An igneous rock cooled very rapidly as it was formed because it was exposed to air What type of rock could it be?
it is an extrusive rock
How does granite respond to cooking pots that are too hot being put on it?
Granite is a form of 'igneous' rock... The name 'igneous' is taken from the Latin 'ignis', for 'fire', because igneous rock is formed from magma and volcanic activity.In short, while granite could be too hot for your cooking pots to handle, your cooking pots won't ever get too hot for granite to handle... They'd melt first! :-)
Igneous rocks that form when melted rock cools on the surface of Earth?
The igneous rocks formed when melted rock cools on the surface of the Earth are called volcanic or extrusive rocks. These rocks cool quickly, resulting in small mineral grains and a fine-grained texture. Common examples include basalt and rhyolite.
What is granite a gas solid or liquid?
Granite is a type of igneous rock. At room temperature it would be a solid. The term igneous refers to rocks that have cooled and solidified from lava or magma. At one point the molecules that formed the granite were in a liquid state and given a hot enough temperature could form a gas.
