How are basalt and granite different in their Orgin texture and mineral composition and how are they similar?
Both rocks are igneous rock but basalt is an aphanitic igneous rock while granite is a common type of felsic intrusive igneous rock.
What type of igneous rock is similar to granite?
Similar to granite in composition: rhyolite. Similar to granite in formation: any intrusive igneous rock, such as gabbro or diorite. Somewhat similar in appearance: diorite, granite gneiss, and many others.
How is gabbro similar to granite?
The rock is intrusive igneous rock.it is intrusive equivalent of basalt.gabbro is mafic in composition,thus is composed of dark minerals .e.g.olivin,pyroxene,amphiboles and ca+2 -rich plagioclase feldspar.The rock form through intrusion of magma below the earth surface.
Igneous rocks may be similar in mineral composition and yet have different?
Texture or crystal size.
What two mineral samples most likely have a similar internal arrangement of atoms?
Intrusive igneous rocks can have chemically and mineralogically identical counterparts in their extrusive igneous equivalent. The only difference between the two rocks would be their method of formation and texture. Example: granite and rhyolite from the same source of magma.

What is the similar in intrusive and extrusive igneous rock?
Igneous rocks which form by the crystallization of magma.

What rock is similar to basalt in mineral make up is intrusive and has coarse grains?
It is Gabbro
Extrusive igneous rock are made from?
Extrusive Igneous rock is made from lava. Intrusive Igneous rock is made from magma. Magma and Lava are similar but magma is inside earth and lava is on the outside.

What type of igneous rock is granite an example of?
There is a rock in Yosemite Park it is called Half Dome it is an igneous rock it is made out of granite
Coarse grained diorite is most similar in mineral composition to fine grained?
Diorite is the intrusive equivalent to the extrusive rock andesite.
