Is granite the plutonic equivalant of rhyolite?
Yes. Granite and Rhyolite have the same composition.
Are diorite and andesite similar?
Diorite and andesite are both igneous rocks, but they have different mineral compositions and origins. Diorite is a coarse-grained rock composed mostly of plagioclase feldspar and hornblende, while andesite is a fine-grained rock with a mix of plagioclase feldspar and mafic minerals like amphibole or pyroxene. Andesite typically forms from intermediate magmas in volcanic settings, while diorite forms from the slow cooling of molten rock deep beneath the Earth's surface.
Are all stars made up of the same chemical composition?
No. It varies but most are same.
What is one similarity between Granite and Rhyolite?
Both granite and rhyolite are felsic igneous rocks formed from very viscous silica rich magma. They have essentially the same composition. The difference between them is that granite cools slowly underground, forming large crystals while rhyolite cools rapidly above ground after a volcanic eruption forming small crystals or no crystals.
What characteristics of water remains the same no matter what is dissolve in it?
The chemical composition of water remain constant.
