Diabase (/ ˈ d aɪ. ə ˌ b eɪ s /), also called dolerite (/ ˈ d ɒ l. ə ˌ r aɪ t /) or microgabbro, [1] is a mafic, holocrystalline, subvolcanic rock equivalent to volcanic basalt or plutonic gabbro.
The upper parts of sills may be more coarsely grained. Dolerite is crushed to use as road metal, and aggregate. [8] Mount Anne, Mount Mueller, and Mount Wedge in the south west are capped in dolerite, where it also makes contact with Precambrian rocks. It appears that the magma came from the crust rather than the mantle.
This high sunlight is too severe for most species and restricts growth. Few understory plants are found in these communities and are usually restricted to drought-tolerant acacia species and the native cherry (Exocarpus cupressiformis). There are often many grasses (and bracken) in these forests and a sparse hard-leafed shrub layer. Groundcover ...
Dolomite (/ ˈ d ɒ l. ə ˌ m aɪ t, ˈ d oʊ. l ə-/) is an anhydrous carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate, ideally CaMg(CO 3) 2. The term is also used for a sedimentary carbonate rock composed mostly of the mineral dolomite (see Dolomite (rock) ).
Dolomite (also known as dolomite rock, dolostone or dolomitic rock) is a sedimentary carbonate rock that contains a high percentage of the mineral dolomite, CaMg(CO 3) 2. It occurs widely, often in association with limestone and evaporites , though it is less abundant than limestone and rare in Cenozoic rock beds (beds less than about 66 ...
Dolomite (rock), also known as Dolostone – Sedimentary carbonate rock that contains a high percentage of the mineral dolomite; Evaporite – Water-soluble mineral deposit formed by evaporation from an aqueous solution; Flint – Cryptocrystalline form of the mineral quartz
Linum dolomiticum, also known as dolomite flax, [2] is a perennial plant in the genus of Linum. [3] Habitat.
In Africa, the substrate ranges from: quartzite, sandstone, clay, gravel, sandy soil, dolomite, granite, schist, basalt, limestone, rhyolite, and dolerite. The more adaptable the taxon is to substrate seems to be indication of how specialized the species is within its habitat in the landscape and climate.
