Basalt and igneous rocks were formed by what we would call magma/lava
actually, it truly depends on the type of rock the metamorphic rock formed from. in other words, if it formed from a rock that held basalt in it, the rock has basalt in it. remember that a metamorphic rock can be formed by more than two different types of rock (such as metamorphic quartz, slate, "fool's gold", plus granite). it does not matter which class the metamorphic rock formed from (but if a m. rock such as m. quartz, there is more likely a chance of finding a trace of basalt), as long as it formed from two different class of rock (this does not always apply, for there can be a metamorphic rock made from two or more metamorphic rocks). i would get into geodes...... but that's another answer. :)
Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock.
Igneous rock formed at or near the surface is referred to as extrusive igneous rock, such as basalt and obsidian.
They are both formed from the solidification of magma, the definition of igneous rock.
Igneous rock is formed when magma cools and becomes solid.
None. Basalt is formed by the rapid cooling of mafic (silica-poor) magma. It is not formed from sedimentary rock.
Yes. Basalt is an extrusive mafic igneous rock.
Extrusive igneous rock such as basalt, rhyolite, pumice, and obsidian.
No, basalt is not a gas. Basalt is an igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of lava, which is molten rock. It is a solid material with a fine-grained texture.
A rock that is formed from hardened molten rock is called an igneous rock. Igneous rocks can be formed from the cooling and solidifying of magma or lava. Examples of igneous rocks include basalt, granite, and obsidian.
basalt is an igneous rock. Igneous is one of the three main types of rock, (igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary) and means, "formed from fire" It includes any rock that cooled directly from a magma or lava state.
No, basalt is not a metamorphic rock. Basalt is an igneous rock that forms from cooling and solidification of lava. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks due to high pressure, heat, or fluids.
