Question

What type of rock (granitic or basaltic) would be more likely to contain the mineral quartz Why?

Answer 1

I think granitic rock would contain more mineral quartz.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the magma cools slowly, crystals of different minerals have time to grow. Molecules in the lava do not have time to arrange themselves to form large crystals. Extrusive rocks have crystals that are too small to see without magnification. A common example of an extrusive igneous rock is basalt.
