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.
Let's review. Igneous rocks are rocks made from the cooling and solidifying of molten rock. There are two categories of igneous rocks. Volcanic rocks are rocks formed when lava cools and solidifies on the earth's surface.Volcanic rocks are also known as 'extrusive igneous rocks' because they form from the 'extrusion,' or eruption, of lava from a volcano.he term 'igneous' comes from the Latin language and is the word for 'fire,' which is a very appropriate name due to the fact that igneous rocks originate from fiery, red-hot magma. We associate magma with volcanoes, yet you don't actually see magma because by definition, magma is located below the surface of the earth.
