What are large group of rocks which form from magma or lava?
These rock formations are generally referred to as igneous rocks and are categorized in at least two forms: Basalts and Granites. Lava is the form of molten rock. But, when it cools in air, it is more of a Basalt. When it cools well beneath the surface, under pressure from above, it takes the form of a Granite. However, we do use, for landscaping purposes, a form of it that has been cooled in water and is very porous (open-celled). This is usually just called "lava rock".
What nutrients are in basalt?
Basalt itself does not contain nutrients. However, as basalt weathers over time, it releases essential nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and trace elements into the soil, which can benefit plant growth. Farmers may use crushed basalt rock dust as a soil amendment to enrich the soil with these nutrients.
Why not use igneous rocks with relative dating?
Igneous rocks are difficult to date using relative dating because they do not contain fossils. Relative dating relies on the presence of index fossils to establish the age of rock layers, and since igneous rocks form from molten magma that solidifies quickly, they do not typically contain fossils. Additionally, igneous rocks are usually intrusive or extrusive, making it harder to determine their relative ages based on their position within rock layers.
What is one use for basalt in the igneous rock?
Crushed basalt can be used for asphalt.
What kind of rock does magma form when it hardens?

What is the major use for a basalt rock?
Basalt rocks are commonly used in construction for building materials such as aggregates in concrete and asphalt. They can also be used in landscaping and as a decorative feature in gardens due to their durability and unique appearance. Additionally, basalt fiber, made from melted basalt rock, is used as a reinforcing material in composite materials for applications such as automotive parts and construction.
Why can't scientist use carbon to determine the age of an igneous rock?
Largely because igneous rock doesn't contain any carbon; any carbon would be vaporised in the heat of molten rock. Uranium is more commonly used to date igneous rocks.
What igneous rock did Americans use to build bridges and public buildings?
Granite
