Basaltic magma forms what kind of igneous rock?
Mafic igneous rock. ( due to Ferromagnesian minerals).
Which igneous rock forms when basaltic lava and when basaltic magma hardens?
Basalt forms when basaltic lava cools and solidifies at or near the Earth's surface. When basaltic magma cools and solidifies below the surface, it can form a type of igneous rock known as gabbro. Both basalt and gabbro are composed primarily of plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene, but they differ in their formation and texture due to their cooling environments.
What type rock is Krakatoa?
It has pohoehoe It has pohoehoe
Is it true Andesitic rock is an igneous rock with a composition in between that of basaltic and granitic igneous rock.?
Yes, andesitic rock is indeed an igneous rock that has a composition situated between basaltic and granitic rocks. It typically contains a moderate amount of silica, ranging from about 57% to 63%, which gives it characteristics that are intermediate between the two. Andesitic rocks are commonly found in volcanic arcs and are often associated with subduction zones.
If a lava flow at Earth's surface had a basaltic composition what rock type would the flow likely turn into upon solidification?
It would form into the rock basalt, an extrusive, mafic, igneous rock.
What is the difference between basaltic and frantic igneous rock?
There sedimentary igneous and metemorphic
Which igneous rock forms when basaltic magma hardens?
Intrusive rock
Basaltic magma forms what kind of igneous rock?
Mafic igneous rock. ( due to Ferromagnesian minerals).
What is same between basaltic and andesitic rock?
Both are classified as igneous rock.
Which igneous rock forms when basaltic lava hardens?
Basalt is the igneous rock that forms when basaltic lava cools and hardens. It is fine-grained and dark in color, typically containing minerals such as pyroxene and plagioclase.
Basaltic magma what form what color of igneous rock?
Dark green to black.
What is igneous that have mineral composistions between those grantic and basaltic rocks?
andesitic rock

A Mafic Extrusive Igneous Rock.
