What else can I help you with?
When silica is in a rock does it make it lighter or darker?
Generally, igneous rocks with more silica are lighter in color.
What happens if you put a igneous rock in water?
When you put an igneous rock in water, the rock will not dissolve or change quickly. Some igneous rocks may absorb water and become slightly heavier or disintegrate over time due to weathering and erosion processes. Overall, igneous rocks are not significantly affected by water in the short term.
What is an igneous rock composed of calcium carbonate?
An igneous rock composed of calcium carbonate is called carbonatite. It typically forms from the melting of carbonate-rich minerals in the Earth's mantle, resulting in a rock dominated by minerals such as calcite, dolomite, and siderite. Carbonatites are rare and are known for their unusual mineral compositions.
What type of rock is a crystal rock?
Virtually all rock contains mineral crystals of various sizes. Most volcanic rocks such as granite contain crystals of quartz and other minerals. Crystal size varies depending on the speed of cooling.
Is basalt chemical clastic or organic?
Basalt is a type of igneous rock that is formed from the cooling and solidification of lava. It is considered a chemical sedimentary rock, as its minerals crystallize directly from magma and do not involve the accumulation of organic or clastic material.
What characteristics determines the chemical composition of an igneous rock?
An igneous rock is any crystalline or glassy rock that forms from cooling of a magma. Color and texture help determine the chemical composition of the rock.
What size of rock texture refers to igneous rock?
The size of the mineral crystals in an igneous rock determines the rock's texture.
What determines the texture of an igneous rock'?
the rate the melted rock cools
What is igneous rock color mainly determined by?
An igneous rock's color is mainly determined by its silica content.
What color will igneous rock with high levels of silica be?
An igneous rock with a high level of silica will have a light color.
How is the color of an igneous rock?
Any type of color it depends on the facture of the rock..................
What determines how large the crystals in the igneous rock will be?
How fast the magma or lava cooled. How fast the rock cooled
Which igneous rock has a dark color?
Mafic
What color is a igneous rock?
It could be Granite.
What determines the size of grains in igneous rocks?
The cooling rate of molten rock
Balstic rock will form what color on igneuus rock?
Dark colored igneous rock
What determines whether igneous rock is intrusive or extrusive A. the density of the rock B. the chemical composition of the rock C. where crystals in the rock are found D. where the rock was formed?
D. where the rock was formed determines whether igneous rock is intrusive or extrusive. Intrusive igneous rocks form from magma that cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing larger crystals to develop. In contrast, extrusive igneous rocks form from lava that cools quickly on the surface, resulting in smaller crystals. Thus, the location of formation is key to classifying igneous rocks.
