Does rhyolite or basalt have more silica in it?
rhyolite
Is rhyolite monomineralic or polymineralic?
polymineralic igneous rock!
What mineral can be found in all samples of rhyolite and andesite?
Quartz is the mineral that can be found in all samples of rhyolite and andesite. Both of these volcanic rocks are intermediate to felsic in composition, and quartz is a common constituent of such rocks. Its presence is a key characteristic that helps distinguish these types of volcanic materials.
Is rhyolite's texture a aphanitic?
Rhyolite may be aphanitic or porphyritic.
Is rhyolite formed at convergent plate boundaries?
Rhyolite can form at convergent plate boundaries where magma is generated from the melting of continental crust material being subducted. Subduction zones can provide the necessary conditions for the production of rhyolitic magma, resulting in the formation of rhyolite.
Is rhyolite found on Banks Peninsula?
Yes

Are granite and rhyolite similar in a way?
Yes. Rhyolite and granite have the same composition. Rhyolite is the volcanic equivalent of granite.
Is rhyolite a metamorphic rock?

What is the intrusive counterpart of rhyolite?
The intrusive counterpart of rhyolite is granite.
How is rhyolite categorized?
