What is the difference between basaltic and frantic igneous rock?
There sedimentary igneous and metemorphic
What is same between basaltic and andesitic rock?
Both are classified as igneous rock.
Basaltic igneous rocks are?
Light colored
How do you describe basaltic igneous rocks?
;-; i have no clue
What is the difference between granitic igneous rocks and basaltic igneous rocks?
Basalt is an igneous rock with very fine grains. It is dark colored. Granite is a variety of colors: gray, pink, and white. It has coarse grains.
What igneous rocks have a mineral composition between that of granitic and basaltic rocks?
Andesite and diorite are two common igneous rocks that have a mineral composition intermediate between granitic and basaltic rocks. Andesite is fine-grained and contains plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene minerals, while diorite is coarse-grained and composed of plagioclase feldspar, amphibole, and other minerals.
Is it true Andesitic rock is an igneous rock with a composition in between that of basaltic and granitic igneous rock.?
Yes, andesitic rock is indeed an igneous rock that has a composition situated between basaltic and granitic rocks. It typically contains a moderate amount of silica, ranging from about 57% to 63%, which gives it characteristics that are intermediate between the two. Andesitic rocks are commonly found in volcanic arcs and are often associated with subduction zones.
Basaltic magma forms what kind of igneous rock?
Mafic igneous rock. ( due to Ferromagnesian minerals).
Which igneous rock forms when basaltic magma hardens?
Intrusive rock
Which igneous rock forms when basaltic lava hardens?
Basalt is the igneous rock that forms when basaltic lava cools and hardens. It is fine-grained and dark in color, typically containing minerals such as pyroxene and plagioclase.
Basaltic magma what form what color of igneous rock?
Dark green to black.
What are characteristics of basaltic igneous rock?
Basaltic igneous rocks are fine-grained and have a low silica content. They are typically dark in color, ranging from black to dark gray. They form from the rapid cooling of basaltic magma and are commonly found in oceanic crust and volcanic islands.
