Size of crystals of Gabbro?
Please someone answer the question, what is the size of gabbro?
What does gabbro look like?
Gabbro is a dark rock with visible crystals.
How does a basalt differ from gabbro?
Gabbro has much larger grains that basalt does. This is because basalt cools faster than gabbro and has less time to form crystals.
Which igneous rock has the same chemical composition as basalt but a different grain size?

Dolerite and gabbro are both igneous rocks Dolerite has crystals about 1 mm across and gabbro has crystals about 5 mm across What does this indicate about the formation of these rocks?
In comparison to the slower cooled magma that created the gabbro, the dolerite has formed closer to the surface. This means that there was less time for crystal growth before it cooled into rock, resulting in the difference in crystal size between the two.

A type of instrusive igneous rock with large crystals?
Gabbro.
Why is Gabbro not Porous?
Gabbro has little pore space. This is because of the interlocking crystals that make up the rock, allowing almost no water through it.
Where can you find gabbro?
Gabbro is a group of dark, coarse-grained, intrusive mafic igneous rocks. They are often found beneath the Earth's surface where they form into crystals.

How can you tell that gabbro crystalized deeper underground than basalt did?
Gabbro has larger crystals, meaning it had much more time to solidify from magma underground. Larger crystals in igneous rock are an indication of longer cooling times, which result in larger crystal growth.
What is an example of an intrusive igneous rock with large crystals?
Porphyrite of any composition, granite, gabbro, diorite. Most intrusive igneous rocks have crystals large enough to see with the naked eye. Another term used to define an igneous rock with large crystals is coarse-grained.
Dolerite and gabbro are both igneous rocks Dolerite has crystals about 1 mm across and gabbro has crystals about 5 mm across What does this indicate about the formation of these rocks?
In comparison to the slower cooled magma that created the gabbro, the dolerite has formed closer to the surface. This means that there was less time for crystal growth before it cooled into rock, resulting in the difference in crystal size between the two.
Where did gabbro come from?
Gabbro forms from a magma that is rich in iron and magnesium, and poor in silica (quartz). The magma cools and crystallizes deep below the earth's surface. Gabbro is from the same kind of magma as basalt and diabase, but because it cools more slowly, it develops larger crystals.
What makes gabbro a rock and not a mineral?
Gabbro is usually made up of minerals such as pyroxene, plagioclase, amphibole and olivine which makes it an intrusive igneous rock.
