Which is an igenous rock limestone rhyolite slate or shale?
Rhyolite is an igneous rock. Limestone, slate, and shale are sedimentary rocks.
What has a more felsic composition rhyolite or basalt?
Rhyolite has a more felsic composition than basalt.
Which rock is most felsic out of rhyolite andesite and basalt?
Rhyolite is the most felsic rock out of rhyolite, andesite, and basalt. Felsic rocks have a higher silica content and are associated with continental crust. Rhyolite is typically light in color and has a high silica content, making it more felsic compared to andesite and basalt.
What are facts about Rhyolite?
Rhyolite is a volcanic rock with high silica content and is typically light in color. It is formed from the rapid cooling of magma rich in silica and is commonly found in continental volcanic areas. Rhyolite often contains crystals such as quartz and feldspar, and can display flow banding and vesicles from gas bubbles.
What is the origin of rhyolite?
Rhyolite forms when the felsic magma (greater than 63% SiO2 by weight) came out to the earth surface and can be identified by its aphanitic texture ( The individual crystals in an aphanitic igneous rock are not distinguisable to the naked eye)
What type of rocks come out of a lava dome volcano?
Usually rhyolite or dacite.
Is rhyolite a compound?
No. Rhyolite is a mixture.

Is rhyolite monomineralic or polymineralic?
polymineralic igneous rock!
How old is rhyolite rock?
Rhyolite can be any age.
Are granite and rhyolite similar in a way?
Yes. Rhyolite and granite have the same composition. Rhyolite is the volcanic equivalent of granite.
What is the intrusive counterpart of rhyolite?
The intrusive counterpart of rhyolite is granite.
Is rhyolite a metamorphic rock?
No. Rhyolite is an extrusive igneous rock.
Is rhyolite's texture a aphanitic?
Rhyolite may be aphanitic or porphyritic.
How is rhyolite categorized?
Rhyolite is a felsic extrusive igneous rock.
