Question

How do acidic igneous rocks differ from basic igneous rocks? dimentary rocks formed?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Basic igneous rocks are denser and dark colored. Acidic igneous rocks have a more silica content about 65 to 85 percent. Basic igneous rocks have less silica content about40 to 60 percent.

Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension. This sediment is often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock into loose material in a source area.

Answer 2

'Acidic’ igneous rocks are rocks which are relatively high in silica and relatively low in iron and magnesium. ‘Basic’ igneous rocks are relatively low in silica and high in iron and magnesium.

The terminology dates back a couple of hundred years, and is based on a misconception about the chemical makeup and reactions during the formation of igneous rocks. We just still use the terms because they are old and convenient. They don’t really mean much. An ‘acidic’ igneous rock isn’t really any more ‘acid’ than any other sort of igneous rock.

It’s a moderately convenient way to categorize compositionally different igneous rock types - ‘acid’ to ‘basic’ with ‘intermediate’ for everything in between.
