Does Rhyolite cool quickly or slowly?
Rhyolite is an igneous rock that has formed from rapidly cooling lava or ash.
Is Rhyolite foliated or non-foliated?
Neither. Foliation is a term used in assesing metamorphic rocks, not igneous rocks such as rhyolite.
What rocks are formed by fast cooling magma?
Rocks formed by fast cooling magma are typically fine-grained and include rocks like basalt, andesite, and rhyolite. These rocks cool quickly on or near the Earth's surface, resulting in small mineral grains and a smooth texture.
Is rhyolite a compound?
No. Rhyolite is a mixture.
What igneous rocks cool above ground?
Igneous rocks that cool above ground are called extrusive or volcanic rocks. Examples include basalt, andesite, and rhyolite. These rocks form when magma erupts onto the Earth's surface and cools rapidly.
Is rhyolite igneous?
yes, rhyolite is igneous
Does rhyolite or basalt have more silica in it?
rhyolite
Is rhyolite monomineralic or polymineralic?
polymineralic igneous rock!
How old is rhyolite rock?
Rhyolite can be any age.
Are granite and rhyolite similar in a way?
Yes. Rhyolite and granite have the same composition. Rhyolite is the volcanic equivalent of granite.
What is the intrusive counterpart of rhyolite?
The intrusive counterpart of rhyolite is granite.
Is rhyolite a metamorphic rock?
No. Rhyolite is an extrusive igneous rock.
