extrusive
it forms when lava from a volcanic eruption cools on the surface.
Yes, Basalt is the most common extrusive rock
No, basalt is an extrusive igneous rock, meaning it forms from the cooling and solidification of lava at the Earth's surface. Intrusive rocks form from magma that cools and solidifies beneath the Earth's surface.
Intrusive: Extrusive Equivalent Granite: Rhyolite Diorite: Andesite Gabbro: Basalt
No. The terms felsic and mafic refers to the relative content of certain minerals in the magma or rock. A mafic rock can be extrusive like basalt, or intrusive like gabbro. Basalt and gabbro can be identical in chemical composition.
Some common intrusive rocks include granite, diorite, and gabbro, while common extrusive rocks include basalt, andesite, and rhyolite. Intrusive rocks form beneath the Earth's surface from slowly cooling magma, while extrusive rocks form from rapidly cooling lava on the Earth's surface.
Basalt can't see crystals and basalt is extrusive. Granite you can see the crystals and is intrusive.
Extrusive. Solidifies above ground level.
Basaltic rock are true to be extrusive rock
Yes, Basalt is the most common extrusive rock
No. Basalt is extrusive whilst granite is intrusive, among other things.
No. Basalt is the most common extrusive igneous rock.
No, basalt is an extrusive igneous rock, meaning it forms from the cooling and solidification of lava at the Earth's surface. Intrusive rocks form from magma that cools and solidifies beneath the Earth's surface.
Apatite is typically found as an accessory mineral in both intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks. It is more common in intrusive rocks like granite, but can also be found in extrusive rocks like basalt.
Intrusive: Extrusive Equivalent Granite: Rhyolite Diorite: Andesite Gabbro: Basalt
Yes. For example gabbro and basalt are chemically equivalent (and so are composed of the same minerals), however gabbro is intrusive and basalt is extrusive.
No. The terms felsic and mafic refers to the relative content of certain minerals in the magma or rock. A mafic rock can be extrusive like basalt, or intrusive like gabbro. Basalt and gabbro can be identical in chemical composition.
The will be large in an extrusive granite and fine in an intrusive basalt.
