they used basalt to carve into huge statues
They can be used for concrete.
basalt is an extrusive igneous rock to be specific.you can use it to extract mafic minerals such as ,Biotite(used to make insulators).But as a rock it is used in construction as building material.
Basalt is a very abundant volcanic rock. A basalt boulder is simply a large chunk of basalt rock.
Yes it is used often in landscaping
There are many igneous rock but simply put the igneous rock that is used for the making of cobblestones is basalt.
Basalt rock is used in construction, such as building blocks, cobblestones, and making statues. It is formed from the rapid cooling of basaltic lava.
Basalt is a fine-grained grey to black extrusive volcanic rock that forms after the rapid cooling of lava at the surface of a planet. On the earth, most basalt magmas have formed by melting decompression of the mantle. Basalt can be used in building blocks for construction, making cobblestones from columnar basalt and making of statutes.
Cobblestones are typically found in either landscaped paths or backyards. They are mainly used in providing a walkway or surrounding bed for home gardens.
why is basalt used as building material
To get grease off cobblestones, mix a solution of water and Trisodium phosphate in a bucket. Pour the solution over the greased cobblestones and wearing gloves, scrub the stones with a firm-bristled brush. Using a pressure washer, rinse the cobblestones.

Crushed basalt can be used for asphalt.
Yes. Basalt is very common and doesn't have chemicals.
Basalt is mostly used for construction purposes - from building blocks and tiles to asphalt for roadmaking.
Basalt can be crushed into crushed stone (aggregate), and used as a material in making concrete or asphalt paving.
It is used for its durability and beauty.
