Feb 23, 2018· The words mafic and felsic are used most often in the context of igneous rocks They inform about the chemical composition of the various types of rocks The classification based on mineralogy, into mafic and felsic, is accepted as the primary scheme of classification for rocks...
The Composition and Structure of Earth , each with its own distinctive physical and chemical propertiOceanic crust is composed of magma that erupts on the seafloor to create basalt lava flows or cools deeper down to create the intrusive igneous rock gabbro Sediments, primarily muds and the shells of tiny sea creatures, coat the seafloor...
Basalt - an igneous, extrusive rock (volcanic magma which has solidified in the open air) is available worldwide The structure of basalt depends on the chemical composition of magma and the rate of cooling when the original flow reached the Earth's surface...
Which of the following pairs of intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks do not both have the same chemical composition? diorite and andesite granite and rhyolite peridotite and basalt All of the above pairs have the same chemical compositions...
Basalt (US: / b ə ˈ s ɔː l t, ˈ b eɪ s ɒ l t /, UK: / ˈ b æ s ɔː l t, ˈ b æ s əl t /) is a mafic extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of magnesium-rich and iron-rich lava exposed at or very near the surface of a terrestrial planet or a moon More than 90% of all volcanic rock on Earth is basalt Basalt lava has a low viscosity, due to its low silica content ....
The Earth's moon is similar to the Earth in that it has a crust, mantle, and core The composition of the two bodies is similar, which is part of why scientists think the moon may have formed from a large meteor impact breaking off a piece of the Earth while it was still forming...
Basalt is available in black, brown, light to dark grey colors whereas, Andesite is available in bluish - grey, grey, pink, yellow colors Appearance of Basalt is Dull and Soft and that of Andesite is Dull and Soft Properties of rock is another aspect for Basalt vs Andesite The hardness of Basalt is ,...
The term ‘olivine’ is also used for a group of related minerals that all share similar crystal structures and the same general chemical composition of X 2 SiO 4, where X can stand for iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn) or nickel (Ni)...
