It is in the ocean. It is also the cheapest igneous rock you can find in the ocean.
Since basalt is extrusive it cools quickly and forms small crystals.
Basalt is an igneous rock formed at or near the surface. It can be drawn into the mantle through the movements of plates at subduction zones.
Basalt cools fast because it is at the surface, where air carries heat away rather quickly.
Granite forms deep underground as felsic magma cools, mostly under continents. Basalt forms at or near the surface as mafic magma cools, typically on oceanic plates.
Basalt Plateau
it comes from magma inside the volcanoes then it cools and it turns in to basalt
Basalt is formed when low-silica lava erupts from a volcano and later cools.
Basalt cools off quickly because it is formed under water.
Most lava forms a rock called basalt when it cools.
Since basalt is extrusive it cools quickly and forms small crystals.

Basalt is considered igneous because it forms when mafic lava cools at Earth's surface.

The magma cools and forms both rocks
