Is andesite plutonic?
No. It is volcanic. The plutonic equivalent of andesite is diorite.
Is granite plutonic or volcanic?
Granite is a plutonic rock, meaning it forms from the slow cooling and crystallization of magma underground. It is composed mainly of quartz, feldspar, and mica minerals.
What are plutonic features?
Plutonic rocks are intrusive rocks that feature magma that has cooled underground in chambers, or plutons. Plutonic has large crystals that are well formed. Gabbro and granite are included in the coarse-grained plutonic.
Every single igneous rock is also a volcanic rock?
No. Volcanic rock is extrusive igneous rock, which cools at or above earth's surface. However, igneous rocks can form from magama that cools inside the earth as well. This is called intrusive igneous rock, sometimes called plutonic rock.
What is the igneous rock that forms under the surface?
IT IS CALLED INTRUSIVE (PLUTONIC) ROCKS WHICH ARE BELOW THE SURFACE. iT IS WHEN MAGMA COOLS AND SOLIDIFIES WITHIN THE EARTH.They are called intrusive igneous rocks or plutonic rocks/plutons.
Is andesite plutonic?
No. It is volcanic. The plutonic equivalent of andesite is diorite.
Can andesite be mined in australia?
Andesite is the eruptive version of plutonic diorite. The name comes from the Andes, where it is the common volcanic ejecta.
Is diorite a volcanic rock?
Yes. Diorite is a high-silica volcanic rock often associated with highly explosive eruptions.
What are the 2 types of igneouse rock?
plutonic and volcanic
What are the key differences between volcanic and plutonic rocks in terms of their formation and characteristics?
Volcanic rocks form from lava that cools quickly on the Earth's surface, while plutonic rocks form from magma that cools slowly beneath the surface. Volcanic rocks have fine-grained textures, while plutonic rocks have coarse-grained textures. Volcanic rocks are often found in volcanic regions, while plutonic rocks are typically found deeper underground.
What is classifies into?
Cooled magma is turned into a plutonic igneous rock, eg. Granite (you can see the difference between plutonic and volcanic because plutonic have large crystal particles)
Are intrusive rocks volcanic?
No. Volcanic rocks are extrusive. Intrusive rocks are sometimes called plutonic.
Is grandodiorite a plutonic or volcanic?
Granodiorite is a type of plutonic rock, meaning it forms from the slow cooling of magma beneath the Earth's surface. It is composed mainly of plagioclase feldspar and quartz, with smaller amounts of biotite, hornblende, and other minerals.
What cooledmagma is classified into?
Cooled magma is turned into a plutonic igneous rock, eg. Granite (you can see the difference between plutonic and volcanic because plutonic have large crystal particles)
Is granite plutonic or volcanic?

Plutonic rocks are intrusive rocks that feature magma that has cooled underground in chambers, or plutons. Plutonic has large crystals that are well formed. Gabbro and granite are included in the coarse-grained plutonic.
What are the key differences between volcanic and plutonic rocks in terms of their formation processes and characteristics?
Volcanic rocks form from lava that cools quickly on the Earth's surface, while plutonic rocks form from magma that cools slowly beneath the surface. Volcanic rocks have fine-grained textures, while plutonic rocks have coarse-grained textures. Additionally, volcanic rocks often contain gas bubbles and may have a glassy appearance, while plutonic rocks are typically more crystalline.
