What type of igneous rock is similar to granite?
Similar to granite in composition: rhyolite. Similar to granite in formation: any intrusive igneous rock, such as gabbro or diorite. Somewhat similar in appearance: diorite, granite gneiss, and many others.

It is most similar to the composition of the rock basalt.

Are diorite and andesite similar?
Yes. Diorite and andesite are igneous rocks with the same composition. Andesite is the extrusive equivalent of diorite, which is intruisive.

Which two rocks have similar composition to limestone?
Calcite and aragonite have similar chemical compositions as limestone. Vaterite also has a similar composition, but is it a less common mineral.

Igneous rocks may be similar in mineral composition and yet have different?
Texture or crystal size.
What is the difference between rhyolite and granite?
The difference is the size of grains. Rhyolite is the felsic igneous rock with fine-grained size. Whereas, granite is the equivalent in composition but with coarse-grained size.
What is oil shales texture?
Oil shale has a fine-grained texture, similar to mudstone or siltstone. It is composed of a mixture of organic matter, clay, and mineral grains.
