What is an igneous intrusion between two sedimentary rock layers?
A laccolith is an igneous formation between two sedimentary layers
Relationship between silica content and overall color of igneous rock?
They both are the color of an igneous rock.
What places can igneous rocks be found?
Between 50 and 200 km below Earth's surface
What is the difference between a igneous rock and basalt?
basalt is an igneous rock. Igneous is one of the three main types of rock, (igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary) and means, "formed from fire" It includes any rock that cooled directly from a magma or lava state.
What is the same between the origin of basalt and granite?
Both are igneous rocks.
What is the difference between basaltic and frantic igneous rock?
There sedimentary igneous and metemorphic
What is an igneous intrusion between two sedimentary rock layers?
A laccolith is an igneous formation between two sedimentary layers
What is the igneous rock between granite and basalt?
Andesite is considered an intermediate rock between granite (felsic igneous rock) and basalt (mafic igneous rock), based on chemical composition.
What is the relationship between distance from the ridges and age of the crust?
At the oceanic ridges the age of igneous basalt rocks is approximately zero (as that is where they formed) and the rocks get older the farther away. The ages of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks does not correlate reliably with distance from the oceanic ridges like the ages of igneous rocks, because they can form anywhere not mainly at oceanic ridges. Igneous granite rocks are generally formed around continental volcanos not oceanic ridges.
Relationship between silica content and overall color of igneous rock?
They both are the color of an igneous rock.
What igneous rocks have a mineral composition between that of granitic and basaltic rocks?
Andesitic igneous rock.
What does cycle?
cycle means it cycles between sedimentary,metamorphic and igneous rocks. cycle means it cycles between sedimentary,metamorphic and igneous rocks. -Mrs.Zalenski
What is the relationship between basalt gabbro and obsidian?
Basalt and obsidian are extrusive igneous rocks. Gabbro is an intrusive igneous rock.
What is the difference between molten and igneous rock?
Molten rock is still a liquid. Igneous rock is what is formed when molten rock solidifies.
What is the similarity between granite and basalt?
Both are igneous rocks.
