Question

differentiate igneous rocks based on silica content ??​

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{purple}{pin}{Answer}}$

• Igneous rocks are formed by the crystallisation of a magma. The difference between granites and basalts is in silica content and their rates of cooling. A basalt is about 53% SiO2, whereas granite is 73%. Intrusive, slowly cooled inside the crust.
