Question

te. Which of the following is a fine-rained mafic (hasic ignens nock 10. (a) Rhyolite (b) Gabbreo (c) Peridotite Basalt (e) Granite 11. Granite typically contains the following minerals (a) Quartz, Amphibole, Pyroxene, Olivine (b) Quartz, Orthoclase feldspar, Amphibole, Biotite (c) Olivine, Pyroxene, Plagioclase feldspar, Amphibole (d) Quartz, Calcite, Aragonite, Apatite (e) Quartz, Pyroxene, Biotite, Olivine 12. Granite is more common than rhyolite because: (a) The melting point of granite is much higher than the melting point of rhyolite, so (b) Rhyolite only forms when magma cools very slowly, so it is mainly found deep (c) The melting point of rhyolite is much higher than that of granite, so thyolite tends no (d) The melting point of thyolitic magma increases as pressure decreases,so rhyolitie (e) Rhyolite is stable at high pressure and granite at low pressure, so granite is more rhyolite tends to melt and recrystallize to form granite within the Earth's crust. to reach the Earth's surface. magma tends to freeze before it reaches the surface common at the Earth's surface.

Explanation / Answer

10) Basalt is a fine grained mafic igneous rock

11) quartz,Orthoclase feldsper,Amphibole,Biotite

12) The melting point of granite is much higher than the melting point of rhyolite so rhyolite tends to melt and recrystallize to form granite
