Question
My Properties of Igneous Rocks pershty Examine the three rock specimens in specimen tray #1. These specimens are examples of three types of igneous rocks: scoria (#60), basalt (#65), and gabbro (#71). In certain ways these three rocks are very similar: they are all dark gray and are composed of essentially identical chemical components. This indicates that the basalt and the gabbro are made of the same minerals. The scoria is fine-grained or glassy and therefore contains no visible minerals. When minerals are present, they are the same ones as found in Tined the basalt and gabbro. In other ways the specimens are different. Using the table below, briefly describe how these three rocks differ from each other. Rock Name Scoria Basalt Gabbro Physical Properties Grain Size (Visible or Microscopic) Air Pockets (Present or Not) How do the differences noted above in grain size and the presence of air pockets arise? (Hint: look at descriptions 8, 10, and 11 in The Geologist as Detective.) 94 Only two of these rock types are found in sills. Which are they and where are they located within the sill? Why?
