Are basaltic scoria and scoria the same thing?
Not necessarily. Most scoria is basaltic, but some can be andesitic.
Is block lava the same as pyroclastic flow?
No. Block lava is low-moving viscous lava, usually of andesitic or similar composition. A pyroclastic flow is a very fast-moving mixture of hot ash, rock and gas.
Is basaltic lava sticky or fast running?
well, since basaltic lava is the same material that composes the ocean floor, it is common sense that it would be sticky, not runny.
What is lighter rock or paper?
Between rock and paper, paper is lighter. However if dropped from same height they do fall at the same speed.
What do basaltic and granitic magmas have in common?
Basalt and Granite are both made from the same magma.
What is the definition of differential weathering?
Differential weathering is the difference in degree of discoloration, disintegration, etc., of rocks of different kinds exposed to the same environment. Quartz deposits in basaltic flows will weather slower than the surrounding rock, while being exposed to the same forces of weathering.
What are same between a hermit crab and rock crab?
They both are crabs right?
What is the difference between drywall and sheet rock?
Those are different names for the same thing.
Are all sand grains made up of the same materials?
No. Sand grains could be a mixture of particles of all sorts of different rock grains. Some sands are mostly quartz grains, some are grains of feldspars, some are gypsum, some are basaltic, and some are combinations of types. Sand can actually be formed from almost any rock type.
What is the same between a quiet and a explosive volcano?
Both create igneous rock from molten material.
What is the same between a explosive and a quiet volcano?
Both create igneous rock from molten material.
What is volcanic equivalent of norite?
It would be a high-magnesium tholeitic basalt or picrite. A basaltic lava containing the same minerals as norite but fine-grained i.e. hypertsthene, olivine, calcic plagioclase feldspar. Such basalts can be found on Earth and on the Moon.
