What is the origin of vesicles in basalt?
The vesicles in some basalts are remnants of bubbles of trapped gas. basalt is an extrusive rock which means it is formed outside the earths crust when lava cools sometimes the gas bubbles in the lava are trapped in the main body of the rock as it cools but most of the gas gets to the top of the lava and is very bubbly and forms pumice
