One is not necessarily older than the other. However, some rhyolite is far younger than any granite on Earth.
Yes. Rhyolite is the volcanic equivalent of granite.
Rhyolite
vesicular rhyolite, rhyolite, granite, and pegmatite!
Rhyolite cools faster from magma (lava) than does granite, which forms from slow cooling of magma deep underground. Granite.
The extrusive chemical equivalent of intrusive granite is rhyolite.
Yes. Rhyolite and granite have the same composition. Rhyolite is the volcanic equivalent of granite.

The extrusive chemical equivalent of intrusive granite is rhyolite.
Rhyolite is most similar to granite mineralogically.
If you take the words 'Red Bluff' and 'thunderbird' out of the question, the answer would be that granite and rhyolite may be composed of the same material, but one (granite) is a result of solidification underground, and the other (rhyolite) solidified above ground.
Rhyolite is the extrusive equivalent in chemistry and density of granite.
