If the chips in your driveway formed over time, skim coating and sealing the surface is a simple cosmetic solution. For a new driveway, excessive chipping can indicate that the slab itself is weak. Causes for weak concrete include drying out the surface too quickly or low quality concrete.
Igneous rocks are rocks that have formed out of magma (molten rock). The two types of igneous rocks most common on Earth are called granite and basalt. Granite is a rock that typically looks pink and white with black specks.Basalt generally just looks black.o summarize, the two types of igneous rocks by chemical composition are felsic and mafic. Granite-typically composed of orthoclase, hornblende, biotite, and quartz-is a felsic rock type. Basalt is mostly olivine, augite, and calcium-rich plagioclase, therefore mafic. slide 3 of 6.
Igneous rocks form when magma or lava cools and hardens into a rock. Magma and lava are rocks that are so hot they move like a liquid. Magma is molten rock that is underground; lava is molten rock that is above the ground â and that is the only difference between them.A common igneous rock is granite.inerals, quite simply, are the building blocks for making rocks, and a rock is made up of one or more minerals. When you look at a rock and see different colors, those colors are minerals that make up that specific rock.
