Yes, basalt is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. It is fine-grained and typically dark in color, and often contains minerals like pyroxene and plagioclase.
Yes, basalt is an igneous rock. it comes from when the volcano erupts. it is the hardened lava. a main factor is silica.
Basalt is igneous. Basalt and Granite are the two most commonly known igneous rocks. It is formed from magma (a melt) and hardens to become basalt.

What is a rock made from harden molten rock?
A rock that is formed from hardened molten rock is called an igneous rock. Igneous rocks can be formed from the cooling and solidifying of magma or lava. Examples of igneous rocks include basalt, granite, and obsidian.

What is the igneous rock between granite and basalt?
Andesite is considered an intermediate rock between granite (felsic igneous rock) and basalt (mafic igneous rock), based on chemical composition.
Is basalt a sedimentry rock?
no because it is an igneous rock
Is basalt a metamorphic rock?
No, basalt is not a metamorphic rock. Basalt is an igneous rock that forms from cooling and solidification of lava. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks due to high pressure, heat, or fluids.
What is basalt sedimentary ignous or metamorphic?
actually, it truly depends on the type of rock the metamorphic rock formed from. in other words, if it formed from a rock that held basalt in it, the rock has basalt in it. remember that a metamorphic rock can be formed by more than two different types of rock (such as metamorphic quartz, slate, "fool's gold", plus granite). it does not matter which class the metamorphic rock formed from (but if a m. rock such as m. quartz, there is more likely a chance of finding a trace of basalt), as long as it formed from two different class of rock (this does not always apply, for there can be a metamorphic rock made from two or more metamorphic rocks). i would get into geodes...... but that's another answer. :)
