What is the comparison between basalt and granite in terms of their origin and texture?

Basalt is a fine grained VOLCANIC igneous rock of mafic composition typically made up of the minerals olivine, clino-pyroxene and calcium rich plagioclase. It is the product of undifferentiated magma at either constructive or destructive plate margins. Granite is a coarse grained PLUTONIC igneous rock of felsic composition typically made up of the minerals quartz, orthoclase, sodium rich plagioclase and either biotite or muscovite mica. It is the product of a highly differentiated, partial melting in which the felsic components have become a segregated fraction separate from the main subducting plate within a destructive plate margin. The two rocks are very different in colour; basalt is grey-brown whilst granite is pink or pale grey. They are however, both igneous rocks & may be used for construction. Granite is frequently used as the building blocks for houses, basalt is more commonly used for kerb stones.
