The mineral assemblage of Rhyolite is usually quartz, alkali feldspar and plagioclase (in a ratio > 1:2) and biotiteand hornblende are common accessory minerals. More importantly quartz has got to comprise more than 69% of the rock.
Felsic igneous rock with exact same composition of granite, just tiny crystals. granite= orhtoclase, quartz, biotite.
I don't know I need it for my science. quartz calcite pyroxene or olivine
The minerals that make up a rock determine how fast it weathers to a large extent. This is mainly true when it comes to chemical weathering.

Rocks are made up of minerals, so a certain type of rock will have several different types of minerals in it. Minerals are what rocks are made up of! It depends on what kind of rock you're wondering about to know which minerals its made up of.
Total replacement of the minerals: replacement fossilization. Partial replacement of the minerals: perminalization fossilization.
Diamond is a the hardest mineral, so yes. Minerals are what make up rocks.
Rhyolite.
Rhyolite is a rock, not a mineral. Common minerals in it are quartz, orthoclase, and albite. The chief elements in rhyolite are silicon, oxygen, aluminum, sodium, and potassium with other elements in small amounts.
granite or rhyolite
Quats make up this rock
Minerals and Compounds.
Yes the do because, minerals are bits of rocks that are broken down int little pieces.
"Minerals" are the compounds that make up rocks. A rock may have several types of minerals in it. Unless a rock is composed 100% of a single element, it contains minerals.

Rocks are composed of various minerals or cemented remains of other rock particles which are composed of minerals.
Grains the particles of minerals or other rocks that give a rock its texture
