What else can I help you with?
Basalt has a greater specific gravity than granite?
Basalt does have a greater specific gravity. Granite is not as dense as basalt.
Is igneous rock granite or basalt?
Both granite ans basalt are types of igneous rock.
Why are basalt and granite important igneous rock?
As it turns out, most of the ocean floor is basalt, and most of the continents are granite.
Are basaltic igneous rocks lower in density than granitic rocks?
Granite is very much less dense than basalt. This is why the continental crust (mostly composed of granite) floats on Oceanic crust (made mostly of basalt). Granite is 70 % silicon. Where basalt is mainly pyroxene.
What is the comparison of granite and basalt in terms of origin and texture which is intrusive and which is extrusive?
Basalt can't see crystals and basalt is extrusive. Granite you can see the crystals and is intrusive.
Is granite in basalt?
No. Granite and basalt have different compositions and form under different circumstances.
What type of grain do granite and basalt have?
Granite - coarse grained. Basalt - fine grained.
Basalt has a greater specific gravity than granite?
Basalt does have a greater specific gravity. Granite is not as dense as basalt.
Is basalt equal to granite?
No. Basalt is extrusive whilst granite is intrusive, among other things.

Which rock has more silica granite or basalt?
Granite has more silica than basalt in it.

What are the colors and texture of both granite and basalt?
Granite and Basalt: 1. Granite is formed from magma that cooled slowly, so it has a coarse-grained texture. It may be pink, white-gray or light to moderate yellow. It contains the minerals feldspar, quartz and mica. Its mineral grains are similar in size. Granite is hard to scratch with a fingernail. 2. Basalt is formed from lava that cooled rapidly, so it has a fine-grained texture. Its mineral grains are so tiny that they can be seen only through a microscope. It may be black or dark green. It contains the minerals feldspar and olivine. Like granite, basalt is hard to scratch with a fingernail.
