What are two examples of fine-grained igneous rock?
Basalt and rhyolite are examples of fine-grained igneous rocks.
Which would weather faster a fine grained or a coarse grained igneous rock?
fine grained rock will weaher faster thatn the course grained rock
A coarse-grained rock and a fine-grained rock probably had different what?
Methods of formation. If crystalline (igneous or metamorphic) they would most likely have had differing rates of cooling. If sedimentary, they would most likely have had differing depositional environments (higher energy for larger grain sizes).
How is basalt different from gabbro?
Basalt is an Extrusive Igneous Rock, it is a fine grained textured rock, While Gabbro is an Intrusive Igneous Rock and it has a Coarse grain texture.
What is a dark fine grained rock called?
They are rocks formed from lava at or near the surface. Basalt is a typical fine-grained extrusive igneous rock, composed of mineral crystals that require magnification to see. The fine-grained texture is due to rapid solidification of the lava which leaves little time for large mineral crystal formation.
What are two examples of fine-grained igneous rock?
Basalt and rhyolite are examples of fine-grained igneous rocks.
Do metamorphic rock and igneous rock have fine grained and coarse grained?
Yes. Exactly, they do have both, fine grained and coarse grained rocks.
Which would weather faster a fine grained or a coarse grained igneous rock?
fine grained rock will weaher faster thatn the course grained rock
What is the origin on fine grained igneous rock?
Uplift and solidification
How does fine grained igneous rock form?
when the lava cools quickley it is fine-grained
What does a fine-grained igneous rock form from?
A fine grained igneous rock forms from Lava that escapes from the earth crust to the surface and cools and solidifies rapidly.
Is Peridotite fine or coarse grained?
A peridotite is a dense, coarse-grained igneous rock
What are two different igneous rock textures?
*fine-grained *coarse-grained
What igneous rock are fine-grained due to fast cooling?
Basalt
What type of rock is pumice?
It is an igneous (volcanic rock).
Fine-grained igneous rock that is formed when molten rock cools quickly and soildfies on Earths surface?
extrusive igneous rock
Which the following is a fine grained light colored extrusive igneous rock?
fine grained extrusive rocks can contain Potassium and Plagioclase Feldspar, Quartz, Biotite, Amphibole, Pyroxene and Olivine. these are all the choices for every igneous rocks
