Diorite is a light to dark grey rock comprised mostly of biotite, hornblende, proxene and plagioclase feldspar (more often than not, andesine). Diorite is a relatively rare form of rock.
Yes. Diorite is a high-silica volcanic rock often associated with highly explosive eruptions.
because most intrusive igneous rock are found underground and diorite is found under the earth.
an intrusive rock
Diorite is an igneous rock, and does not have a cleavage , but a break between two sections of diorite could be best described as 'uneven'

First, diorite is an intrusive igneous rock, meaning it solidified from magma under the surface. This extra time spent underground cooling allowed it to have larger crystals than a rock formed from magma cooling above ground. Diorite is considered an intermediate rock, mostly composed of the mineral plagioclase feldspar, with biotite mica, hornblende, pyroxene, quartz, and olivine. Its mineralogy causes it to be fairly dark in color, ranging from gray to green in tone. Diorite rock is very durable, and ancient structures and artwork created with it still survive.
