A meteorite can be composed of different materials and so can vesicular basalt, but because of the presence of pores in vesicular basalt a meteorite would likely be heavier, assuming that they have the same volume.

Does sun sol blaze beat basalt horgium?
depends on what type of launch strength you do. horgiu is a heavy type, to defeat him you need a strong rip.
Is hydrogen light or heavy compared to the other elements?
It is the lightest element.
What tells you how heavy an elements atoms are compared with atoms of other elements?
the atomic weights on the periodic table
Do Granite and Gabbro have the same chemical composition?
No. Gabbro is a mafic rock (magnesium and iron silicates) while granite is a felsic rock (referring to lighter elements such as potassium in feldspar). Felsic rock contains fewer heavy elements than mafic rocks. The chemical equivalent to gabbro is basalt, as both are mainly pyroxene and plagioclase feldspar. The difference is that gabbro is intrusive rock and basalt is extrusive.
How is andesite different from rhyolite and basalt?
There are rocks that are extrusive (formed quickly on the surface of the earth) or intrusive (formed within the earth under slow cooling). Both types of extrusive or intrusive rocks can vary in composition from mafic (high iron and magnesium content) to silicic (less heavy ions like Fe and Mg, but with more of the lighter elements like Ca, Na, K, etc.). Extrusive rocks range from most mafic to less mafic as such: Basalt, Andesite, Rhyolite (and are all fine-grained b/c they cooled quickly). Intrusive rocks that cool more slowly and have larger crystals range from most mafic to less mafic as such: Gabbro, Diorite, Granite. Basalt and gabbro have a similar composition, just the crystal size differs from different cooling rates (same for rhyolite and granite).
Is basalt a soft rock?
Basalt is a relatively heavy iron rich hard rock.
Is aluminum light or heavy?
Compared to Osmium it is light, compared to Hydrogen it is heavy

Are nuclear weapons heavy?
Compared to a loaf of bread, all nuclear weapons are heavy. Compared to a truck, some are light and some are heavy.
What is the main mineral that oseanic plates are made up of?
Basalt. It's a very heavy type of rock.
What does basalt develop into?
When basalt metamorphoses (changes through heat and/or pressure), it becomes amphibolite. Amphibolite is dark-coloured, and resembles dark, glassy crystals fused together. It is heavy, with a slightly flaked structure.
How heavy is the meteorite?
How heavy is a meteorite? Every one is different, of course, but the vast majority of them are fairly small; fist-sized or smaller. They are predominantly dust-sized, but we generally cannot see those. Larger meteors strike the Earth every couple of months, although they generally disintegrate or explode in the atmosphere.
Describe oceanic plate?
The definition of an oceanic plate is a tectonic plate plate made mostly of basalt? and I'm not so sure what basalt is but I think it's water.The Oceanic plate is the plate which lies under the ocean. It is made of basalt,which is a heavy rock.
Does sun sol blaze beat basalt horgium?

Is hydrogen light or heavy compared to the other elements?
It is the lightest element.
How much does the largest meteorite weigh?
The mass of a meteorite is the amount of matter it contains. Meteorites range considerably in size, so their mass can vary from almost nothing up to huge. The largest known meteorite is about 60,000 kg.
Dense heavy dark-colored igneous rocks form from what magma?
Basalt froms from basaltic lava is heavy, dark-colored, dense lava. Basaltic lava is dark because it contains high amounts of iron and magnesium.
