What kind of rock will be found 10 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface?

At 10 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface, you would typically find igneous rocks such as basalt and gabbro. These rocks are formed from solidified magma and are common at this depth due to the high temperatures and pressures.


Which intrusive igneous rock could be composed of 60 percent pyroxene 25 percent plagioclase feldspar 10 percent olivine and 5 percent amphibole?

This intrusive igneous rock could be a gabbro. Gabbros are composed mainly of pyroxene and plagioclase feldspar, with lesser amounts of olivine and amphibole. This composition suggests a mafic rock with dark minerals dominating.


Is periodite a rock or a mineral?

Peridotite is a type of rock that is composed mostly of the mineral olivine, along with other minerals such as pyroxene and spinel. It is commonly found in the Earth's mantle and is associated with the formation of rocks like basalt and gabbro through the process of partial melting.


What percent of the earth's crust is sedimentary rock?

Sedimentary rock; this is because the earth is constantly going through the rock cycle and both igneous rock and metamorphic rock have a lot to deal with under the earths surface and sedimentary rocks doesn't it just builds and builds over time which creates 75% of rock the covers the earth surface.


Is scoria a fine grained rock?

Scoria is a volcanic igneous rock that is composed of approximately 50% silica and 10% calcium oxide and lesser contents of potash and soda. Its hardness on the Mohs scale is 5 - 6.
