Deep underground.
Granite is lighter because its composed of felsic minerals while gabbro is made up of dark ferromagnesian minerals.
Yes.
the textures are similar yes but gabbro is made up of calcite and olivine while granite contains biotite mica, feldspar, and quartz.
Granite basalt pumice aplite scoria
They are all intrusive igneous rocks
Gabbro has less silica than granite.
Granite contains Quartz and Plagioclase Feldspar and Gabbro does not have neither if these minerals in it.
The counterpart of Granite is Rhyolite,the counterpart of Gabbro is Basalt. Gabbro is mafic(Dark coloured) ,Granite is felsic (light coloured) Granite forms from magma of Granitic composition while Gabbro forms from magma of Basaltic composition.
Have a similar texture
Granite is lighter because its composed of felsic minerals while gabbro is made up of dark ferromagnesian minerals.
gabbro
the composition
Granite usually metamorphoses into gneiss.
acording to the NY state reference table for earth science; granite, pegmatite, diorite, gabbro, peridotite, and dunite
Granite and gabbro are the two biggies, granite being formed underground by felsic magma, and gabbro being formed underground by mafic magma. Diorite and peridotite are two others.
Yes.
