Some basalts can be quite porous, others may be non-porous.
There are 2 types of permeability- Porosity and Perviousness Granite and basalt are both pervious Granite has low porosity, but basalt can be both porous or non-porous. It depends on its rate of cooling.
Yes it is a porous rock.
Igneous rocks range from the highly porous pumice to the nearly non-porous granite. In some explosive eruptions of felsic magma, as is the case with pumice, the frothy mixture of rock and gas cools so rapidly that open vesicles are preserved, making it very lightweight and porous. With granite, the intrusive igneous rock has had a long time to cool underground, and with its interlocking crystalline structure, it has an extremely low porosity.
Basalt is a relatively heavy iron rich hard rock.
No. Basalt is solid rock.
Yes it is.
Non-porous rocks are solid materials that do not allow water or other fluids to pass through them due to the absence of interconnected pore spaces. This lack of porosity prevents the storage or movement of fluids within the rock, making them impermeable. Examples of non-porous rocks include granite, basalt, and marble.

Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock.
Basalt
Yes it is a porous rock.
That rock was not Basalt, it was different. This is not a diamond, just a normal Basalt.
No. Basalt is a mafic rock.
Sorry but i only got 1 porous rock and 1 non-porous rock :)Porous rock = sandstonenon-porous rock =granite
Basalt is a very abundant volcanic rock. A basalt boulder is simply a large chunk of basalt rock.
