Answer:
The two rock can be confused with each other as both appear rough to touch and both are found in shades of black & brown and dark themes, also shades of grey sometimes prevail.
They differ in the mode of formation as Quartzite is Metamorphic Rock while Basalt is the Igneous rock formed from the Volcanoes
Explanation:
The two rock can be confused with each other as both appear rough to touch and both are found in shades of black & brown and dark themes, also shades of grey sometimes prevail. They do have similarities in the hardness on some scale as Quartzite is hard while basalt is intermediate in hardness.
Major difference between them are:
They differ in the mode of formation as Quartzite is Metamorphic Rock while Basalt is the Igneous rock formed from the Volcanoes. Quartzite have medium grain size and foliated, granular structure while Basalt is fine grained and glassy in texture.
By observing how seismic waves are absorbed and refracted, scientist have been able to work out where the properties of the earth change dramatically. our understanding of the internal structures of the earth and the size of its core is based on these observations.
basically:
size of core
structure of the earth I.e. the layers of the earth
and I think the last one is how the internal structure is changing? not sure on the last one but its still a solid guess.
