Basalt typically has a higher specific gravity than granite due to its more dense and heavy composition. This means that basalt is usually heavier for its size compared to granite.

Basalt is known as a type of rock. This rock is a dark-colored and fine grained.

Basalt rock is used in construction, such as building blocks, cobblestones, and making statues. It is formed from the rapid cooling of basaltic lava.

When basalt undergoes metamorphism, it can change into a metamorphic rock called greenstone. Greenstone is a fine-grained metamorphic rock that forms from the alteration of basalt through metamorphic processes like recrystallization and the growth of new minerals.

Igneous rocks

Basalt is generated by the solidification of lava that erupts from volcanoes. It is a common igneous rock that forms from the cooling and crystallization of molten rock material.

Basalt pushed into the crust by subduction will likely become metamorphosed into a rock called eclogite due to the high pressure and temperature conditions experienced in the subduction zone.

In a 68-kg boulder of basalt with 45-52% silica content, we would expect there to be approximately 30.6-35.36 kg of silica present (68 kg * 0.45 = 30.6 kg and 68 kg * 0.52 = 35.36 kg).

Basalt is commonly erupted along oceanic rift systems due to its low viscosity and high fluidity, making it easier for the magma to flow and reach the surface. Its composition is also a result of partial melting of the Earth's mantle at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity. The eruption of basaltic magma at oceanic rift systems contributes to the continuous creation of new crust and plays a key role in plate tectonics.

That rock was not Basalt, it was different. This is not a diamond, just a normal Basalt.

Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock.

basalt is grainy and black

not to be racist or anything

specific heat of basalt is 0,2

Basalt can be found under the earth.

I would like to see real basalt in my lifetime.

No, basalt is not a gas. Basalt is an igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of lava, which is molten rock. It is a solid material with a fine-grained texture.

Yes, basalt is a solid at standard temperature and pressure.

what is basalt

Basalt is the result of lava flows from volcanoes. Basalt flows and or 'slabs' can be found anywhere volcanoes are. In fact, the entire islands of Hawaii are really just a huge basalt slab.

I am not sure what you mean by "smaller" BUT - Most piles of basalt on the planet (eg hawaii) are in water - Indeed the whole oceanic seafloor is basalt, so there is more basalt in water than ALL the basalt to be found on land.

No. Calcite is not an igneous mineral. Basalt primarily consists of pyroxines and plagioclase with some olivine.

Crushed basalt can be used for asphalt.

it comes from magma inside the volcanoes then it cools and it turns in to basalt

The explorer found a basalt inside of a volcano.

Pertaining to basalt; formed of, or containing, basalt; as basaltic lava.

Basalt Rock Company was created in 1920.

Operation Basalt happened on 1942-10-04.

Basalt feels like a smooth, dense and cool stone.

The most common rock in Earth's crust is basalt.

Basalt formations can be massive, encompassing many square miles. The mineral crystals which make up basalt require magnification to see.

Basalt consists of multiple minerals. Pyroxene, calcium-rich plagioclase, and sometimes olivine are key minerals in basalt. Basalt that cools rapidly may form glass, which contains no minerals because it lacks a crystal structure.

Granite is very much less dense than basalt. This is why the continental crust (mostly composed of granite) floats on Oceanic crust (made mostly of basalt). Granite is 70 % silicon. Where basalt is mainly pyroxene.

Rhyolite has a more felsic composition compared to basalt. Rhyolite is rich in silica and aluminum, while basalt is richer in magnesium and iron.

Because of the large basalt rock formations in the area. These are extrusive volcanic flows (lava) from the early Tertiary Age,

Basalt can't see crystals and basalt is extrusive. Granite you can see the crystals and is intrusive.

Yes. Basalt is very common and doesn't have chemicals.

why is basalt used as building material

No. Granite and basalt have different compositions and form under different circumstances.

Granite - coarse grained.

Basalt - fine grained.

Basalt is a rock, not a mineral, and therefore does not have a crystal structure of it's own.

No, basalt is an igneous rock formed from the solidification of molten lava. It is not a metamorphic rock.

Basalt is mined at Mt Sylvia in southeast Queensland. It is also mined at the Bunbury basalt mine at Gelorup in Western Australia. It is quarried in smaller quantities at various other locations.

"The Basalt Mine" in eastern New South Wales is not a basalt mine, but an open cut gold mine.

Gabbro and basalt are both igneous rocks, but gabbro is a coarse-grained rock formed from slow cooling magma deep underground, while basalt is a fine-grained rock formed from rapid cooling lava on the Earth's surface. Gabbro typically contains more mafic minerals like pyroxene and olivine compared to basalt.

Basalt Mountain is not a volcano in Basalt, Colorado. It is a prominent mountain peak in the Elk Mountains of the Rocky Mountains, known for its basalt rock formations. The town of Basalt, Colorado, is located nearby but does not have an associated volcano.

The plateau over which the River Zambezi flows, including the Falls is Basalt. Some fissures are of sandstone
