basalt underlines more of earth surface than any other rock type . most areas within earth's ocean are under lain basalt . although basalt is much uncommon on continents, lava flows on flood basalts under lie several % of earth's land surface it is an very important rock
Basalt is an igneous rock that forms from the relatively rapid solidification of basaltic lavas; that is, those magmas that are relatively high in iron and magnesium, and low in silica and aluminum. These features give basalt its dark color and higher relative density when compared to silicate igneous rocks. The oceanic crust is largely composed of this fine-grained extrusive igneous rock.
Basaltic is a reference to magma that is destined to become basalt when cooled after eruption, or in reference to a solidified flow, rock, or structure consisting of basalt.
It is the most common rock in the crust of the Earth, as most of the ocean floor is composed of it.

Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock.
Basalt is a dark-colored igneous rock that forms when low-silica lava cools on Earth's surface. It may commonly have vesicles. It often forms two types of lava flow: pahoehoe with smooth surfaces and a'a with rough surfaces. Basalt is commonly formed at mid-ocean ridges, oceanic hot spots, and in continental flood basalts.
