Can the minerals which form an intrusive rock also form the same rock but is an extrusive rock?
Yes. For example gabbro and basalt are chemically equivalent (and so are composed of the same minerals), however gabbro is intrusive and basalt is extrusive.
How does intrusive rock form?
intrusive rock froms when magma cools or hardens underneath the earth. :)
Where does intrusive rock form?
Rock that forms when magma cools beneath earth's surface is called intrusive igneous rock
Is a gabbro a intrusive rock or a extrusive rock?
it is an intrusive igneous rock with composition equivalent of basalt.it is dark colored due to high concentration of dark minerals;olivine,biotite,hornblende.
Is schist an intrusive or extrusive rock?
Neither, Igneous rock is either intrusive or extrusive. Thats what intrusive and extrusive is... A igneous rock.
Which rock is formed from melted minerals?
A lot, but they would all be igneous rocks.
How can rock minerals form?
Rock minerals form from lava, magma or solutions.
What rock has more silica Extrusive or intrusive?
Intrusive rocks typically have more silica than extrusive rocks. This is because intrusive rocks form when magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing more time for minerals rich in silica to crystallize. In contrast, extrusive rocks form when lava cools quickly on the Earth's surface, resulting in a rock with less time for silica-rich minerals to develop.
Intrusive igneous rocks form when hardens and cools beneath Earth and surface.?
The substance that cools beneath the earths surface when an intrusive igneous rock forms is Magma. Magma is a molten material made up of rocks and minerals.
What Intrusive igneous rocks form when hardens and cools beneath earth's surface?
The substance that cools beneath the earths surface when an intrusive igneous rock forms is Magma. Magma is a molten material made up of rocks and minerals.
What minerals combine to form igneous rock?
It doesn't necessarily matter what the minerals are, as long as they form from cooling magma or lava. Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of cooled magma (molten rock). They may form with or without crystallization, either below the surface as intrusive (plutonic) rocks or on the surface as extrusive (volcanic) rocks.
Is granite a element?
No. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, composed of minerals which are composed of various elements.
