How would you distinguish between rhyolite porphyry, andesite porphyry, and basalt porphyry
Mrac [35]

<u>Basalt</u>

<em>     </em><em>Formation</em> -basalt is (mineral) a hard igneous rock of varied mineral   content formed when lava reaches the Earth's surface near an active volcano

<em>     </em><em>Texture</em>-  is fine grained so the individual minerals are not visible

<em>     </em><em>Colour</em>- basalt being dark

<u>Rhyolite</u>

<em>       Formation</em> -Rhyolite is a very fine-grained to glassy extrusive igneous rock. Formed in continental plates have  volcanic eruptions.

<em>     Texture</em>- very small than grains and are difficult to observe without using a hand lens.

<em>     </em><em>Colour</em>- light in colour whether  pink or grey  

<u>Andesite</u>  

<em>     </em><u><em> </em></u><em>Formation</em>- Andesite is a fine-grained igneous rock that forms when the magma is rises up onto the surface and  crystallized quickly

<em>     </em><em>Texture</em>- higher than basalt and lower than rhyolite  

<em>     </em><em>Colour</em><em> -</em>- color is pale due to silica content

____can give clues about the cooling speeds of magmas, the presence of water beneath the surface or even the intensity of past c
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The grain size

Explanation:

The grain size can provide lot of clues for us when it comes to the formation of the rocks, the conditions in which they formed, and even what happened after their initial formation. The reason for this is that the grains vary in size and shape depending on the conditions in which the rocks formed. If the magma/lava cooled of quickly, the grains will be very small, almost unnoticeable, and that is a sign that the cooling appeared on the surface, very close to it, or in the presence of water. On the other hand, if the magma cooled slowly, the grains will be large and well defined, and that is a sign that the magma was cooling off slowly, deep into the crust, where there's higher temperature and pressure.
