Larger CO 2 emissions resulted from the application of dolerite fines (116 g CO 2-C m-2) compared to CaCl 2 (79 g CO 2-C m-2) but larger inorganic carbon precipitation also occurred (172.8 and 76.9 g C m-2, respectively). Normalising to the emitted carbon to precipitated carbon, the environmental carbon cost was reduced with …
DetailsRhyolite. Rhyolite is a felsic (silica-rich) volcanic igneous rock with the same mineral content as granite, only unlike granite, it cools fast from the molten rock near or over the surface of Earth's crust (extrusive type).When these magmas erupt, a rock with two grain sizes typically forms. The larger crystals that form just beneath the surface cool at a slower pace and …

DetailsDolérite. Une dolérite (du grec doleros, « trompeur » 1, 2, 3) est un microgabbro, c'est-à-dire une roche magmatique dense, dure et massive, finement grenue, correspondant à un magma basaltique qui s'est solidifié (relativement) lentement dans un filon, puis a subi un métamorphisme léger. Elle est constituée de grains visibles à la ...
DetailsDolerite vs Granite: Could Ancient Egyptians carve obelisks?: With Pavel Selivanov, Alexander Sokolov, Nikolay Vasyutin. Scientists Against Myths investigates the theory that the ancient Egyptians used dolerite stones to carve granite obelisks. To test the theory they give it a try. Dolerite holds up well against granite making it an effective …
DetailsDiabase (or dolerite) is a medium-grained igneous rock with basaltic composition. The term is also synonym of microgabbro. The name comes from the Greek diabasis, meaning 'crossing over', which is appropriate since this rock is texturally halfway between a gabbro and a basalt.Dolerite has a similar origin, from the Greek doleros, deceptive.. Diabase …
Detailsii. In British and Australian usage: A medium grained mafic intrusive rock whose main components are calcic plagioclase and clinopyroxene and which is characterized by ophitic to subophitic texture; usually found in sills and dykes. The preferred term for what is called diabase in the United States. Of similar mineralogy to basalt and gabbro ...
DetailsDolerite. Le doleriti (termine inglese per diabase) sono rocce mafiche subvulcaniche, olocristalline a composizione mineralogica identica a quella dei gabbri. Il loro nome deriva dal greco dia = attraverso, ed ebasic = che sale, in pratica significa che sale attraverso le altre rocce. Le doleriti differiscono dai gabbri principalmente per la ...
DetailsThe meaning of DOLERITE is any of various coarse basalts. Recent Examples on the Web In parts, the rocks fit together like a Roman road in a multicolored mosaic of rock types: sandstone, volcanic dolerite and granite. — Jennifer Berglund, Discover Magazine, 31 May 2013 In addition, a stone chip found in the former socket hole suggested that the missing …
DetailsThe Dolerite Columns coastline of southern Tasmania is composed of spectacular rock columns that stick out up to 300 meters from sea level. The geologists call these rocks "dolerites", due to their distinctive elongated shape and hexagonal columns. The Mother Nature majestic dolerite columns are probably formed in the Jurassic period ...
DetailsDolerite is the name given to the medium-grained intrusive basic igneous rock commonly found in dykes and sills; in North America and continental Europe it is often referred to as diabase, but many authors restrict this term to altered dolerite. Hatch et al. (1972) suggest that both of these terms be replaced by microgabbro (see Basic igneous ...
DetailsDolerite is the medium grained, intrusive, equivalent of a basalt (link to basalts). It usually occurs as dykes, plugs or sills. Being intruded into country rocks at shallow levels, the magma has more time to cool than if extruded. …. On Arran, dolerite forms the majority of the sills and dykes seen.
DetailsIn the United Kingdom and a few other countries, diabase is known as "dolerite". The two words are synonyms. Diabase: A specimen of diabase in which the plagioclase crystals are dark gray to black. It does not have the salt-and-pepper appearance of the specimen at the top of this page. This rock is approximately eight centimeters across.
DetailsThe intrusion of dolerite and basaltic dykes are therefore never accompanied by brecciation, deformation or shearing of the host-rock, at least during their propagation. The average thickness of Karoo dolerite dykes ranges between 2 and 10m. The country rock is often fractured during and after dyke emplacement.
DetailsIt is well known that mostly dolerite dykes and sills of Jurassic to early Cretaceous age, are ubiquitous within the early Permian Vryheid Formation (Roberts 1987).In South Africa, difficulties with intrusions in coal were recognized as early as 1899 and approximately 90% of the Natal coalfields are affected by intrusions (Heslop …
DetailsButtress Dolerite. Dark-gray to greenish-gray (weathers brown or gray), medium- to fine-grained, commonly porphyritic, generally massive with well-developed columnar jointing, grading from basalt near contacts to fine-grained gabbro in the interior, composed of plagioclase and pyroxene with accessory opaques and locally devitrified glass ...
