They are both lithospheric igneous rocks formed by the cooling and solidification of magma/lava and both of them contains silicon.
Gabbro and basalt are both common igneous rock and they're both dark in color too.
Both rhyolite and basalt are extrusive igneous rocks formed during volcanic eruptions.
gabbro and basalt have same mineral composition i.e calcium rich feldspar and miner amount of olivine but gabbro is plutonic equivalent of basalt.
silica is present in both rock
Granite and basalt are both igneous rocks; however, basalt is considered a volcanic rock, and granite is considered a plutonic rock.
Basalt does have a greater specific gravity. Granite is not as dense as basalt.
Both granite ans basalt are types of igneous rock.
As it turns out, most of the ocean floor is basalt, and most of the continents are granite.
i think that basalt is the smaller crystals out of the two, as the crystals in granite are larger.
Basalt and Granite are igneous rocks which are very hard.
granite? or basalt
Granite for the continents; Basalt for the oceans.
Basalt
Granite and basalt are both igneous rocks; however, basalt is considered a volcanic rock, and granite is considered a plutonic rock.
Granite is higher in silica than is basalt.
Granite has more silica than basalt in it.
No. Granite and basalt have different compositions and form under different circumstances.
Granite - coarse grained. Basalt - fine grained.
Basalt does have a greater specific gravity. Granite is not as dense as basalt.
Basalt and Granite are both made from the same magma.
No. Basalt is extrusive whilst granite is intrusive, among other things.
