Difference between Gabbro and Oceanic crust

Gabbro vs. Oceanic crust

Gabbro refers to a large group of dark, often phaneritic (coarse-grained), mafic intrusive igneous rocks chemically equivalent to basalt, being its coarse-grained analogue. Oceanic crust is the uppermost layer of the oceanic portion of a tectonic plate.

Similarities between Gabbro and Oceanic crust

Gabbro and Oceanic crust have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Basalt, Cumulate rock, Diabase, Mafic, Magma, Mantle plume, Mid-ocean ridge, Ophiolite.

Basalt
