How does Basalt differ from granite?
Basalt is an extrusive, mafic igneous rock, which means that it solidifies from lava at or near the surface, and is composed partly of iron and magnesium minerals. Granite is an intrusive felsic igneous rock, meaning that it solidifies from magma below the surface, and is relatively high in minerals containing silicon and aluminum. Basalt has a higher specific gravity than granite, and is also darker than granite. Basalt may have visible air pockets, frozen in place when it solidified from lava. Granite will not exhibit this characteristic. Basalt has mineral crystals that are not visible with the naked eye. Granite has visible mineral crystals.
