What is basalt sedimentary ignous or metamorphic?
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. :)
Is basalt a igneous metamorphic or sedimentary rock?
Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock.
What is an igneous rock that forms at the surface?
Igneous rock formed at or near the surface is referred to as extrusive igneous rock, such as basalt and obsidian.
Are granite and basalt called igneous rock?
They are both formed from the solidification of magma, the definition of igneous rock.
Type of rock formed from molten rock?
Igneous rock is formed when magma cools and becomes solid.
What sedimentary rock turns into the igneous rock basalt?
None. Basalt is formed by the rapid cooling of mafic (silica-poor) magma. It is not formed from sedimentary rock.
Is basalt metamorphic?
Yes. Basalt is an extrusive mafic igneous rock.
What kind of rock is formed after a volcano erupts?
Extrusive igneous rock such as basalt, rhyolite, pumice, and obsidian.
Is basalt a gas?
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.
What is a rock made from harden molten rock?
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.
What is the difference between a igneous rock and basalt?
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.
Is basalt a metamorphic rock?
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.
