What are the parent rocks of gabbro?

Gabbro is an igneous rock, and therefore does not have a parent rock as would a metamorphic rock. Gabbro is an intrusive igneous rock formed from the slow cooling and solidification of mafic magmas deep underground.


Is gabbro a felsic rock?

No, gabbro is not a felsic rock. Gabbro is classified as a mafic rock due to its dark color and high content of iron and magnesium minerals, while felsic rocks are light-colored and have a higher silica content.


Why is it difficult to dtermine the absolute age of a sedimentary rock?

In most cases, all we have to date are the clasts in the sedimentary rock. Dating the clasts, however, would yield the age of the source rock from which they were derived rather than the current sedimentary rock.


Which is older a gabbro dike or a gray shale?

A gabbro dike is typically older than a gray shale. Gabbro is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling of magma intruding into existing rock formations. Gray shale, on the other hand, is a sedimentary rock that forms from the accumulation of sediment over time. Therefore, the gabbro dike would have formed before the gray shale was deposited.

Why would basalt and gabbro generally have higher chemical weathering rates than rhyolite and granite?

Basalt and gabbro have higher chemical weathering rates than rhyolite and granite because they contain more ferromagnesian minerals like olivine and pyroxene that are more susceptible to chemical weathering compared to the quartz-rich minerals in rhyolite and granite. This makes basalt and gabbro more prone to breakdown and alteration when exposed to weathering agents like water and acids.


Which rock obsidian or gabbro would make a better arrowhead?

Obsidian. It has very fine grain or is amorphous, and it has a conchoid fracture, so it can be worked to a sharp edge and point. Gabbro, on the other hand, has a very coarse grain and it difficult to get and edge or point on at all.
