Q179

Granite and Basalt are the examples of:

A.
Sedimentary Rocks
B.
Metamorphic Rock
C.
Volcanic Rock
D.
Igneous Rocks
Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Basalt and granite actually have quite a bit in common. Both are igneous rocks, which means that they cooled from a magma (the earth gets very hot just below the surface, and there is lots of liquid rock available). Both are made up of minerals from the silicate group, so both have large amounts of silicon and oxygen.
