Dolerite also called "Rowley Rag" can be found in Rowley Regis,West Midlands,England.
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.
Gabbro.
Granite is felsic means having more than 65% SiO2 whereas dolerite is mafic having 45 to 52 SiO2.
Yes. It is believed to have erupted in 2010 twice because of the constructive margin. The plates were pulled apart by convection currents then because of this basalt lava seeps in to form a new crust beneath the sea and existing volcano. Much of the magma was intruded as dolerite dykes (thin sheets of igneous rock.) New lava and dykes then added extra crust at each side of the spreading ridge.

Dolerite is very rough.
Igneous Rock :)
hornblende
It wuz used for pounding into a rock. the dolerite ball was very. very hard.
Neither. Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock. Intrusive and extrusive are descriptive terms used to classify igneous rocks.
Dolerite rocks are a type of igneous rocks (formed as a result of cooling of magma or lava). They are mafic (45-52% SiO2), and subvolcanic (formed within the earth's crust). Within this characterisation there is considerable variation. Please see the link.
Stone carvers would use a special granite rock called ''Dolerite.''
dolerite
Dolerite is coarse grained variety of basalt, if present in the dorm of a dyke (discordent igneous body), it is called a dolerite dyke.
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.
Gabbro.
Yes, it can be.
