Granites can be predominantly white pink or gray in color depending on their mineralogy the word granite comes from the latin granum a grain in reference to the coarse grained structure of such a completely crystalline rock.
Basalt or granite viscosity.
Does water flow as fast as honey.
Do you think the viscosity would be the same in each case.
Granite is the most common intrusive rock in earth s continental crust it is familiar as a mottled pink white gray and black ornamental stone it is coarse to medium grained.
Its three main minerals are feldspar quartz and mica which occur as silvery muscovite or dark biotite or both.
It forms from lava flows which extrude onto the surface and cool.
More than 90 of all volcanic rock on earth is basalt and the eruption of basalt lava is observed by geologists at about 20.

It has relatively low silica content basalt lava has a comparatively low viscosity.
ˈ b æ s ɔː l t ˈ b æ s əl t is a mafic extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of lava rich in magnesium and iron exposed at or very near the surface of a terrestrial planet or a moon.

First of all you should know the difference between lava and magma magma and lava are both molten liquid rock but magma is moltenrock produced underneath earth surface while it magma erupts on the surface of earth it is called lava.
What is the composition of each basalt and granite.
The key difference between basalt and granite is that basalt is mostly occurring on ocean floors while granite is in the crust of the earth in all continents.

All rocks of igneous origin consist of magma or molten earth that finds its way up to.
Basalt is an igneous volcanic rock that forms commonly in oceanic crust and parts of continental crust.
High sio2 content and high viscosity.
Earth contains three kinds of rocks namely igneous rocks sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks basalt and granite are two types of igneous rocks.
Basalt is most widespread of all igneous rocks and comprises more than 90 of all volcanic rocks.
Describes the resistance to flow due to internal friction.
Granite ˈ ɡ r æ n ɪ t is a common type of felsic intrusive igneous rock that is granular and phaneritic in texture.
Variation in the viscosity of basalt as it crystallizes after murase and mcbirney 1973 geol.
