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. Igneous Rocks are rocks that have crystallized from molten rock, or magma. Magma is generated in the subsurface where it may solidify to form a plutonic rock, such as granite. The magma may also rise to the surface and erupt out of a volcano or volcanic fissure to form a volcanic rock, such as basalt.Igneous rock composition. Magma has a range of composition that is dominated by the elements silicon and oxygen, or silica (SiO 2).agma is generated in the subsurface where it may solidify to form a plutonic rock, such as granite. The magma may also rise to the surface and erupt out of a volcano or volcanic fissure to form a volcanic rock, such as basalt.
