1.1 Definition
Boninite is a mafic extrusive rock which is high in magnesium and silica content, formed in fore-arc environments, typically during the early stages of subduction
Monzogranite is a type of igneous rock and belongs to biotite granite rocks that are considered to be the final fractionation product of magma

5.1 Formation
Boninite is a type of Igneous rock which is formed through the cooling and solidification of lava or existing rocks.
Monzogranite is a fine-grained, hard rock which is a type of metasomatite, essentially altered basalt. It forms with or without crystallization, either below the surface as intrusive rocks or on the surface as extrusive rocks.
