Basalts are as common as the formation of the Ocean floor. Basaltic rocks are ferromagnessian rocks and intrusive igneous rocks. This implies they are formed within the Earth's crust, and they make up the ocean floor. They are dark and dense rocks and occurs in large scale as M.O.R.B. (Mid-oceanic Ridge Basalt).
