Is gabbro a moon rock?
Yes, gabbro is a type of rock that can be found on the Moon. Gabbro is a common type of igneous rock formed from the cooling of magma. It is likely present in the lunar crust due to past volcanic activity on the Moon.
A type of instrusive igneous rock with large crystals?
Gabbro.
Is a gabbro a mineral?
Gabbro is a rock
What is a type of mafic phaneritic rock?
Gabbro is a type of mafic phaneritic rock. It is composed mainly of pyroxene, plagioclase feldspar, and often contains minor amounts of amphibole, olivine, or biotite. Gabbro forms from the slow crystallization of mafic magma deep within the Earth's crust.
What is a dark coarse-grained intrusive igneous rock similar to basalt in mineral make up called?
The answer is Gabbro.
Is gabbro a dike?
Gabbro is an intrusive mafic igneous rock. A dike is a type intrusive igneous structure and is not associated with any particular type of igneousn rock. Gabbro can form dikes, sills, and other structures.

What type of rock is gabbro?
Oh, dude, gabbro is an intrusive igneous rock that's made up of mainly mafic minerals like pyroxene and plagioclase feldspar. It's like the cool, laid-back cousin of basalt, formed from magma that cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface. So yeah, gabbro is basically the rock that's chillin' underground, doing its thing.
What are the parent rocks of gabbro?
Gabbro is an igneous rock, and therefore does not have a parent rock as would a metamorphic rock. Gabbro is an intrusive igneous rock formed from the slow cooling and solidification of mafic magmas deep underground.
What type of rock can be changed into igneous rock?
obsidian,basalt,granite,pumice,tuff,diorite,gabbro,andesite,ect
What is an igneous rock that may have cooled deep beneath the earths surface and has a dark blackish green color?
The igneous rock you are describing is likely to be a type of mafic rock called gabbro. Gabbro forms from the slow cooling of magma deep within the Earth's crust and has a dark blackish-green color due to its high content of dark minerals such as pyroxene and amphibole.
What type of texture does gabbro have?
Gabbro typically has a coarse-grained texture, with interlocking grains that are visible to the naked eye. The texture is formed by the slow cooling of molten rock beneath the Earth's surface.
