Diatomite is a friable light-colored sedimentary rock that is mainly composed of the siliceous skeletal remains of diatoms. It is a very porous rock with fine particle size and low specific gravity. These properties make it useful as a filter media, an absorbent, and as a lightweight filler for rubber, paint, and plastics.
Diatomite is a biological seimentary rock.
No. Diorite is an intrusive igneous rock.
igneous
Sedimentary Rock
yes it can!
Diorite has a coarse texture normally but it all varies.
Both are igneous rocks of intermediate coposition.
black diorite
It is know for being the oldest codified law written in black diorite stone.
Yes. Diorite is a high-silica volcanic rock often associated with highly explosive eruptions.
volcanic because it is an intrusive rock
No. It is volcanic. The plutonic equivalent of andesite is diorite.
Andesite is a moderate weight volcanic rock, first described from the Andes. It is the volcanic (extrusive) equivalent in composition to diorite of the plutonic rocks. It will be found in granite areas.
Andesite is the eruptive version of plutonic diorite. The name comes from the Andes, where it is the common volcanic ejecta.
Yes diorite's texture is aphanitic.
Yes. Diorite is an intrusive igneous rock.
Diorite is an intrusive igneous rock. Its extrusive equivalent is andesite.
Diorite is an igneous rock, and does not have a cleavage , but a break between two sections of diorite could be best described as 'uneven'
Yes. Diorite and andesite are igneous rocks with the same composition. Andesite is the extrusive equivalent of diorite, which is intruisive.
Diorite can sometimes be black, grey or even white. :)
Diorite is a medium grained rock.
