is plutonic (meaning it is formed slowly deep within the earth) while basalt
is volcanic (meaning it has been transported to or near the surface)
same composition, gabbro would be more likely to exhibit crystalline growth while basalt would be more fine grained to aphanitic
The main types of igneous rocks are basalt, granite, andesite, rhyolite, and obsidian. Basalt is fine-grained and forms from rapidly cooling lava, while granite is coarse-grained and forms from slow cooling magma. Andesite and rhyolite fall in between these two in terms of grain size, with obsidian being a volcanic glass with no crystals.
mostly made of basalt.
Igneous rocks are usually classified first by their color index. The color index is separated into four categories. Felsic rocks are the lightest and are composed of mostly quartz and potassium feldspar. Intermediate rocks are the second lightest and are made up of mostly plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, amphibole, and biotite. Mafic rocks are made up of plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, and amphibole. Ultramafic is made up of mostly olivine, with pyroxene and amphibole.
Basalt is the most common volcanic rock. It is a dark-colored, fine-grained volcanic rock that is found in many volcanic settings around the world. Basalt forms from the rapid cooling of magma on the Earth's surface.
The oceanic crust is made out of mostly basalt.
