Basalts are rocks that are extruded from volcanoes. That means they are produced from LAVA that has erupted from a volcano. This cools to form a hard, dense, usually black rock.

Where do rocks have a basaltic composition?
Oceanic crust is made of basaltic rock. The rocks formed from hotspot volcano lavas are also often basaltic too.
Where do most rocks have basaltic composition?
Most rocks with basaltic composition are found in volcanic regions, such as volcanic islands and mid-oceanic ridges. They are also commonly found in continental flood basalt provinces, which are large expanses of basaltic lava flows that cover extensive areas of land. Basaltic rocks can sometimes be found in other settings as well, such as in certain types of metamorphic rocks.
Andesitic rocks have mineral compositions between those of basaltic rocks and?
granitic
Where do most rocks have a basaltic composition?

Why are granitic igneous rocks lighter in color than basaltic rocks?
Because granitic rocks are poor in iron and magnesium, which gives basaltic rocks it dark color.
Copper is found in what type of rock?
Copper can be found in Granitic and Basaltic rocks.

Are basalt rocks pyroclastic?
Usually not. Although it is possible to have pyroclastic material with a basaltic composition, most basaltic rocks are from simple lava flows.
What color rocks does basaltic magma form?
Basaltic magma usually forms a black rock.
