What else can I help you with?
Does rhyolite or basalt have more silica in it?
rhyolite
Is rhyolite monomineralic or polymineralic?
polymineralic igneous rock!
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.
Which mineral can be found in all samples of rhyolite and andesiteh igneous rock is dark colored cooled rapidly on Earth's surface and is composed mainly of plagioclase feldspar olivine and pyroxene?
The mineral that can be found in all samples of rhyolite and andesite is typically plagioclase feldspar, which is often present in varying compositions. Rhyolite and andesite are both volcanic rocks that cool relatively quickly on the Earth's surface, leading to their fine-grained textures. While olivine and pyroxene can also be present in these rocks, plagioclase feldspar is the primary mineral characteristic of both rhyolite and andesite.
Is rhyolite found on Banks Peninsula?
Yes
Why is rhyolite found in Yellowstone National Park?
Yellowstone is the site of a very large volcano that is often referred to as a supervolcano. Much of what it erupts is rhyolite.
Is rhyolite a compound?
No. Rhyolite is a mixture.
Is rhyolite igneous?
yes, rhyolite is igneous
Does rhyolite or basalt have more silica in it?
rhyolite
Is rhyolite monomineralic or polymineralic?
polymineralic igneous rock!
How old is rhyolite rock?
Rhyolite can be any age.
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?
No. Rhyolite is an extrusive igneous rock.
What is the intrusive counterpart of rhyolite?
The intrusive counterpart of rhyolite is granite.
How is rhyolite categorized?
Rhyolite is a felsic extrusive igneous rock.
Is rhyolite's texture a aphanitic?
Rhyolite may be aphanitic or porphyritic.
