My question is
"Select the rock type most likely to form in each situation"
Andesite, Granite, Diorite, Basalt, Peridotite, Gabbro, Rhyolite
A. Silicic magma cooling slowly in a batholith
B. Mafic magma cooling rapidly in a dike
C. Intermediate magma cooling slowly in a stock
D.Low-silica magma cooling slowly in the mantle
E. Silicic magma cooling quickly near the surface.
I give up, Ive come up with several answers because I always pick 1 rock that I think can fit in 2 of those...so can someone answer this for me?
