Basalt: Igneous Rock - Pictures, Definition, Uses & More
Basalt is a dark-colored, fine-grained, igneous rock composed mainly of plagioclase and pyroxene minerals. It most commonly forms as an extrusive rock, such as a lava flow, but can also form in small intrusive bodies, such as an igneous dike or a thin sill. It has a composition similar to gabbro.
Basalt - Wikipedia
Basalt. Basalt (UK: / ˈbæsɔːlt, - əlt /; [1] US: / bəˈsɔːlt, ˈbeɪsɔːlt /) [2] is an aphanitic (fine-grained) extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of low- viscosity lava rich in magnesium and iron (mafic lava) exposed at or very near the surface of a rocky planet or moon.
Basalt | Definition, Properties, & Facts | Britannica
Basalt, extrusive igneous (volcanic) rock that is low in silica content, dark in color, and comparatively rich in iron and magnesium. Basalts may be broadly classified on a chemical and petrographic basis into two main groups: the tholeiitic and the alkali basalts. Learn more about basalt in this article.
Basalt | Properties, Formation, Composition, Uses
Basalt is a mafic volcanic rock that forms from the solidification of basaltic magma and exhibits a characteristic fine-grained texture. Its composition, texture, and classification provide insights into the processes involved in its formation and the geochemical characteristics of the mantle and crust.
Basalt | Properties, Formation, Composition, Uses - Geology Hub
It is the most common rock type found in oceanic crust and is an important component of the Earth’s continental crust. Basalt is formed through the rapid cooling and solidification of magma at Earth’s surface, resulting in the formation of lava flows and volcanic rocks.
