Difference between Granite and Rapakivi granite

Granite vs. Rapakivi granite

Granite is a common type of felsic intrusive igneous rock that is granular and phaneritic in texture. Rapakivi granite is a hornblende-biotite granite containing large rounded crystals of orthoclase each with a rim of oligoclase (a variety of plagioclase).

Similarities between Granite and Rapakivi granite

Granite and Rapakivi granite have 13 things in common (in Unionpedia): Anorogenic magmatism, Batholith, Biotite, Fractional crystallization (geology), Hornblende, India, Intrusive rock, Metamorphic rock, Orthoclase, Plagioclase, Pluton, Quartz, Radon.

Anorogenic magmatism

In geology anorogenic magmatism is the formation, intrusion or eruption of magmas in other settings than convergent plate margins such as continental collision and subduction where orogeny is common.

Batholith

A batholith (from Greek bathos, depth + lithos, rock) is a large mass of intrusive igneous rock (also called plutonic rock), larger than in area, that forms from cooled magma deep in the Earth's crust.

India

India (IAST), also called the Republic of India (IAST), is a country in South Asia.

Intrusive rock

Intrusive rock (also called plutonic rock) is formed when magma crystallizes and solidifies underground to form intrusions, for example plutons, batholiths, dikes, sills, laccoliths, and volcanic necks.

Metamorphic rock

Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form".

Orthoclase

Orthoclase, or orthoclase feldspar (endmember formula KAlSi3O8), is an important tectosilicate mineral which forms igneous rock.

Plagioclase

Plagioclase is a series of tectosilicate (framework silicate) minerals within the feldspar group.

Pluton

In geology, a pluton is a body of intrusive igneous rock (called a plutonic rock) that is crystallized from magma slowly cooling below the surface of the Earth.

Quartz

Quartz is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms in a continuous framework of SiO4 silicon–oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO2.
