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.
Granite is the most common intrusive igneous rock (see figure 2 for an example). Igneous rocks make up most of the rocks on Earth. Most igneous rocks are buried below the surface and covered with sedimentary rock, or are buried beneath the ocean water. In some places, geological processes have brought igneous rocks to the surface.
