Where in the world is gabbro found?
Gabbro is an igneous rock with an intrusive origin. This means that the rock was formed when a body of magma pushed its way into the Earth's crust and formed an intrusion. This magma eventually cools and forms a coarse grained intrusive igneous rock. Gabbro can be found anywhere that a body of magma has risen and cooled.
