Do diorite and rhyolite have the same chemical composition?
No. Diorite has the same composition as andesite while Rhyolite has the same composition as granite.
Is granite the plutonic equivalant of rhyolite?
Yes. Granite and Rhyolite have the same composition.
What rock does magma form when it cools?
Magma forms coarse crystalline intrusive igneous rocks such as granite or gabbro, depending on the chemical composition of the magma.
What minerals does the rock granite always contain?
granite has its composition _ quartz+alkali feldspar
What is the intrusive pink rock with mica?
Granite is intrusive, can be pink, and contains mica.
Do granite and rhyolite have the same chemical composition?
They are roughly the same. If they are from the same source of magma, they could be nearly identical in chemical composition.
Do diorite and rhyolite have the same chemical composition?
No. Diorite has the same composition as andesite while Rhyolite has the same composition as granite.
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 difference between rhyolite and granite?
The difference is the size of grains. Rhyolite is the felsic igneous rock with fine-grained size. Whereas, granite is the equivalent in composition but with coarse-grained size.
Which intrusive and extrusive rocks have the same chemical composition?
Intrusive: Extrusive Equivalent Granite: Rhyolite Diorite: Andesite Gabbro: Basalt
What type of composition does granite have?
who cares
What is rhyolitic composition?
It contains about 70% Silica(SiO2)Added:Rhyolite, a gost town town in South-Nevada, is named for rhyolite, an igneous rock composed of light-colored silicates, usually buff to pink and occasionally light gray. It belongs to the same rock class, felsic, as granite but is much less common.
What does it mean to have andesitic composition?
Rocks have a composition between that of granite and basalt
Is granite the plutonic equivalant of rhyolite?
Yes. Granite and Rhyolite have the same composition.
Describe the different minerals that determine the color of granite?
Magma that is high in silica usually forms light-colored rock, such as granite. Grantis, however, comes in many shades and colors, from nearly black to light gray, red, and pink. The mineral composition of granite determines its color. ^______^
