Basalt is a darkcolored, finegrained, 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 is a stone that underlies more of the earth's surface than any other rock type. it is a dark, volcanic rock that is caused by the rapid cooling of basaltic lava. basalt also underlines the earth's ocean basins. basalt is lava rock formed when the fires deep in the earth's core meet the surface.

Basalt is a type of igneous rock formed by the rapid cooling of lava at the surface of a planet. it is the most common rock in the earths crust.1 basalt rock characteristics vary from the source of lava, cooling rate, and historical exposure to the elements. high quality fibers are made from basalt deposits with uniform chemical makeup.

Basalt is an excellent example of extrusive igneous rock, while granite is an example of intrusive igneous rock, both depend on the cooling and crystallization of molten magma (rapp, 2009; trefil et al., 2005). fig. 2. the location of harrat ash shaam basalt plateau in jordan, syria, and saudi arabia.

Basalt is the most widely distributed basic extrusive rock, with a sio 2 content ranging from 45 to 52, and is mainly composed of basic plagioclase and monoclase pyroxene, followed by orthopyroxene, peridot and amphibole. pyroxene in basalt often has a complete crystalline, short columnar structure; plagioclase in basalt has a fine needlelike nondirectional arrangement.
