Basalt

BASALT FROM INDIA:

Basalt is an extrusive igneous or volcanic rock that has a low silica content, dark in colour, and is very rich in iron and magnesium. Basalt rock is mainly composed of pyroxene, olivine, and plagioclase and is the most common rock on the earth’s surface. The texture of basalt rocks is coarsely porous as those holes are left by gas bubbles. The specimens of these rocks are mostly fine-grained, glassy and compact. A large part of the ocean floors is made from basalt rocks. When erupted by volcanoes in ocean basins, it can lead to the formation of volcanic Islands. Basalt rocks have also built up huge plateaus on the surface of the land. Maria, the dark plains on the Moon and also volcanoes of Mars and Venus are known to be possibly made up of basalt.

A basalt dark in colour can be called the dark basalt. We find its applications in textile industries, fire protection.
