What else can I help you with?
How is granite and basalt obtained from the earths crust?
the source is found underground, and then it is mined
What layer of the earth contains granite and basalt in the GREATEST abundance?
The crust is the layer of the Earth that contains granite and basalt in the greatest abundance. These rocks are commonly found in the continental crust (granite) and oceanic crust (basalt).
What is the rock that makes up most of oceanic crust?
Most of the oceanic crust is made of peridotite. Some basalt and gabbro may also be found.
Where in Earth's crust would you find basalt?
Most basalt is found in the oceanic plates. Most granite is found in the continental plates.
Where is basalt located?
Basalt is a volcanic rock that can be found in many places around the world, including areas with recent or ancient volcanic activity. It is commonly found in oceanic crust, on volcanic islands, and in regions with volcanic activity such as the Pacific Ring of Fire.
What are two rocks that can be found in the earths crust?
Basalt and limestone.
How is granite and basalt obtained from the earths crust?

Does basalt form most of the earths crust?
yes
What is the composition of earths oceans?
Many different minerals are found in oceanic crust. Feldspar, basalt, pyroxene, and other molten rock materials make up the composition of the ocean's crust.
What rock is most commonly found in the Earth's crust?
Igneous rock, and specifically basalt.
What composition is earths crust?
oceanic crust is made of basalt while continental crust is made of silica rich rocks like granite.

Where in Earth's crust would you find basalt?
Most basalt is found in the oceanic plates. Most granite is found in the continental plates.
What layer of the Earth is made up of the rocks basalt and granite?
The Earth's outermost layer where basalt and granite are found is called the crust. Basalt is more common in the oceanic crust, while granite is more prevalent in the continental crust.
What kind of crust are Plates made of?
rocky almost cement crust like granite found in continental crust and basalt found in oceanic crust
What igneous rock found in the ocean crust called?
Basalt.
