Is basalt the most common intrusive rock?
Yes, Basalt is the most common extrusive rock
Is basalt intrusive?
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.
Which intrusive and extrusive rocks have the same chemical composition?
Intrusive: Extrusive Equivalent Granite: Rhyolite Diorite: Andesite Gabbro: Basalt
Is Basalt intrusive or extrusive?
extrusive it forms when lava from a volcanic eruption cools on the surface.
Are mafic rocks solely intrusive or 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.
Is basalt an intrusive rock or extrusive rock?
Extrusive. Solidifies above ground level.
Are basalt extrusive or intrusive?
Basaltic rock are true to be extrusive rock

Can the minerals which form an intrusive rock also form the same rock but is an extrusive rock?
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.
Which intrusive and extrusive rocks have the same chemical composition?
Intrusive: Extrusive Equivalent Granite: Rhyolite Diorite: Andesite Gabbro: Basalt
What is a black intrusive rock with small crystals?
Intrusive rock normally has visible crystals. Extrusive igneous rock has small crystals. A black extrusive igneous rock with small crystals could be basalt.
What is the comparison of granite and basalt in terms of origin and texture which is intrusive and which is extrusive?
Basalt can't see crystals and basalt is extrusive. Granite you can see the crystals and is intrusive.

What are the most common intrusive and extrusive rocks?
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.
