Do basalt and rhyolite form magma?
No. Both basalt and rhyolite are formed from molten rock erupts from a volcano.
How does the rock rhyolite form?
Lava that has been cooled down into solid rock.
Is rhyolite a metamorphic rock?
No. Rhyolite is an extrusive igneous rock.
If granite within earth melts and then erupts at the surface what type of extrusive rock is likely to form?
If granite melts and then erupts at the surface, it is likely to form rhyolite, which is an extrusive rock. Rhyolite has a composition similar to granite but is formed from the rapid cooling of magma at the Earth's surface.
What is an extrusive igneous rock?
Rhyolite
Rhyolite is an example of a?
A rhyolite volcano is a volcano that erupts rhyolitic lava or pyroclasitc material. Rhyolite is an igneous rock formed from the eruption of extremely viscous silica rich material. Eruptions involving rhyolite can be extremely large and violent. In some cases, however, rhyolite can build into lava domes or form thick, extremely slow lava flows.
When would rhyolite rock form?
Rhyolite refers to a pale fine-grained volcanic rock. It is formed when magma that would have formed granite managed to erupt onto the surface of the Earth.
How old is rhyolite rock?
Rhyolite can be any age.
Which is an igenous rock limestone rhyolite slate or shale?
Rhyolite is an igneous rock. Limestone, slate, and shale are sedimentary rocks.
Is rhyolite an polymerization sedimentary rock?
No, rhyolite is a silica-rich volcanic or igneous rock.
Is Rhyolite Porphyry an intrusive or extrusive rock?
Rhyolite Porphyry is an intrusive rock, formed from the slow cooling of magma underground. It is characterized by large crystals (phenocrysts) surrounded by a fine-grained matrix.
How is rhyolite categorized?
Rhyolite is a felsic extrusive igneous rock.
