Gabbro is an igneous rock with an intrusive origin. This means that the rock was formed when a body of magma pushed its way into the Earth's crust and formed an intrusion. This magma eventually cools and forms a coarse grained intrusive igneous rock. Gabbro can be found anywhere that a body of magma has risen and cooled.

∙ 12y agoGabbro is a strange name that most people aren't familiar with, much less how it is formed. Gabbro is a large group of dark, mafic igneous rocks that are chemically similar to basalt. They are formed when molten magma is trapped beneath the Earth's surface and then cools into a crystalline mass.
