Two samples of iron are placed together outdoors one sample is painted the other is not what would you expect the conditions of the two samples to be like after a period of time?
The non-painted iron sample will be rusted.
What rock would form when basaltic magma cools?
Basalt or gabbro. Mafic igneous rock.
Why would basalt and gabbro generally have higher chemical weathering rates than rhyolite and granite?
The ferromagnesian minerals in the gabbro and basalt are subject to oxidation and chemical breakdown.

What are the parent rocks of gabbro?
Gabbro is an igneous rock, and therefore does not have a parent rock as would a metamorphic rock. Gabbro is an intrusive igneous rock formed from the slow cooling and solidification of mafic magmas deep underground.
What causes dirt in well water?
It comes from the ground, what do you expect. If the dirt is significant you may need a sediment or sand filter. I would definitely take a sample for analysis if you are drinking it.It comes from the ground, what do you expect. If the dirt is significant you may need a sediment or sand filter.
