<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
The percentage of languages that are dying out in Asia is only around 20% from the total number of languages dying out in the world, despite it having around 60% of the global population is due to two reasons:
- <em>Number of languages;</em>
Asia, even though it has around 60% of the world's population, it only has around one third of the languages spoken in the world, so automatically there's a big disproportion between the number of population and number of languages, thus giving it a smaller percentage of languages dying out.
- <em>Keeping the tradition;</em>
Lots of Asian nations are not very willing to let their traditional language to die out and continue to speak it. Apart from the traditional point of view, another reason is that Asia has global economic powers, so learning languages like the English or Spanish are not of great benefit in general, so the pressure is much lesser.
