What else can I help you with?
What is the dark colored rock the makes up most of the oceanic crust?
Basalt
What is the melting point of basalt?
specific heat of basalt is 0,2
How small is basalt?
Basalt formations can be massive, encompassing many square miles. The mineral crystals which make up basalt require magnification to see.
Basalt has a greater specific gravity than granite?
Basalt does have a greater specific gravity. Granite is not as dense as basalt.
Are basaltic igneous rocks lower in density than granitic rocks?
Granite is very much less dense than basalt. This is why the continental crust (mostly composed of granite) floats on Oceanic crust (made mostly of basalt). Granite is 70 % silicon. Where basalt is mainly pyroxene.
What is the velocity range in deccan traps?
the velocity of deccan trap basalt is 4.8-5km/sec,but basement granite has a velocity range of 6.0-6.2km/sec.
Where is the Basalt Rld in Basalt located?
The address of the Basalt Rld is: 14 Midland Ave, Basalt, 81621 8305
What is a sentence using the word 'basalt'?
That rock was not Basalt, it was different. This is not a diamond, just a normal Basalt.
Explain the significance of the fact that the lithosphere is primarily composed of basalt while the crust is composed primarily of granite?
The lithosphere is composed of the oceanic and continental crust, along with the brittle uppermost mantle. The continental crust is mainly granitic, and the oceanic crust is primarily basalt.
What is the dark colored rock the makes up most of the oceanic crust?
Basalt
Does basalt have salt in it?
Basalt has not sodium chloride.
How would you explain the abundance of andesite and basalt in leyte?
The abundance of andesite and basalt in Leyte is due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region known for volcanic activity. The presence of nearby volcanoes and tectonic plate movements has led to the formation of these volcanic rocks in Leyte. Additionally, the continued activity of these geological processes over time has contributed to the abundance of andesite and basalt in the region.
Where is the Basalt Regional Heritage Society in Basalt Colorado located?
The address of the Basalt Regional Heritage Society is: Po Box 3008, Basalt, CO 81621
What is the phone number of the Basalt Rld in Basalt?
The phone number of the Basalt Rld is: 970-927-4311.
Is basalt a igneous metamorphic or sedimentary rock?
Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock.
How have scientists determined the composition of the earths mantle?
by studying seismic wave travel times, scientist have determined that the lithosphere, which includes the crust and the top of the upper mantle is made up primaraly of the ingenueos rocks granite, basalt and peridotite
What are the properties of basalt?
basalt is grainy and black not to be racist or anything
