== == Rhyolite, basalt, pumice, obsidian, andesite, dacite, tuff, welded tuff, scoria.
Which rock has large mineral grains granite obsidian basalt or pumice?
Granite has large mineral grains compared to obsidian, basalt, and pumice. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock that forms deep within the Earth's crust, allowing for the growth of large mineral crystals due to slow cooling. Obsidian, basalt, and pumice are extrusive igneous rocks that cool quickly at the Earth's surface, resulting in smaller mineral grains or a glassy texture.
What is the densest rock basalt limestone marble or shale?
Basalt has the highest density of the rock types mentioned.
Is pumice in a example of a mafic igneous rock?
No, pumice is an example of a felsic igneous rock. Mafic rocks, like basalt, have lower silica content and higher iron and magnesium content compared to felsic rocks, like pumice, which have higher silica content and lower iron and magnesium content.
