What would happen if a plate made of granite and a plate made of basalt collided?
Basalt is more dense than granite as it contains more iron and magnesium. This means that it is likely that the more dense basaltic plate would be forced under the less dense granitic plate.
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 rock has larger crystals than basalt and granite?
A pegmatite is a rock formed under certain favorable circumstances that enhance the crystal size of the rock. The crystals would be larger than those in basalt, an extrusive igneous rock, and granite, and intrusive igneous rock.
An example of an igneous rock low in silica is granite?
False. Basalt would be an example of an igneous rock with a low silica content.
Why are there no index fossils in the granite and basalt?
Granite and basalt are both igneous rocks - they are formed from magma extruded into another rock layer or from expulsion from a volcano. The heat of the cooling rock would completely melt any fossils they came into contact with and destroy them, so you don't see fossils in these rocks.

What rocks would most likely be found on the ocean floor shale granite basalt or marble?
Basalt.
What is example of igneous rock?
Basalt and pumice.
Which of the following rocks would most likely contain a fossil sandstone granite marble or basalt?
Limestone
Where in Earth's crust would you find basalt?
Most basalt is found in the oceanic plates. Most granite is found in the continental plates.
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 would happen if two Falcon Punches collided?
The world would implode
What difference between granite and basalt rocks?
Granite is a felsic (composed of "light" coloured feldspars and silica minerals) intrusive rock. It is formed by the slow cooling and crystallisation of magma below the earths surface in a pluton or batholith. Basalt is the opposite of granite. Basalt is a mafic (dark coloured minerals rich in iron and magnesium)fine grained rock formed from the rapid cooling and crystallisation of lava above ground. Granite: Pale coloured, felsic, intrusive, coarse grained/porphyritic. Basalt: Dark coloured, mafic, extrusive, fine grained.

What would happen if an unstoppable object collided with an immobile object?
the particles would split tocreate multiple unstoppable objects
