Which element was found near volcanoes?
Extrusive igneous rock would be found near a volcano. Basalt, andesite, and rhyolite are the most basic types of volcanic rock.
What type of lava do strato volcanoes have?
The textbook answer would be andesite. In reality stratovolcanoes are highly variable and have been known to erupt all of the types of lava observed on modern earth from basalt to rhyolite, sometimes from the same volcano. One stratovolcano even erupts unique carbonatite lava.
What rocks would most likely be found on the ocean floor shale granite basalt or marble?
Basalt.
What is 1 example of an igneous rock?
Any rock that erupted on (lava) or within the Earth or crystallized from molten rock (magma). Such rock would fall into two categories: Intrusive (crystallized within the Earth), granite, gabbro, diorite, pegmatite, peridotite and extrusive (erupted and crystallized on the surface) rhyolite, andesite, obsidian, basalt, tuff and pumice.
How heavy is is vesicular basalt compared to a meteorite?
A meteorite can be composed of different materials and so can vesicular basalt, but because of the presence of pores in vesicular basalt a meteorite would likely be heavier, assuming that they have the same volume.
What type of extrusive rock would form at a volcano?
Extrusive rock of an igneous origin, formed from the cooling and solidification of lava. Typical examples include basalt, andesite and rhyolite.

Which extrusive rock has the same composition as andesite?
That would be andesite, as it is extrusive. The intusive rock with the same composition is diorite.
What are two sentences that use basalt?
Basalt can be found under the earth. I would like to see real basalt in my lifetime.
What was the basalt and igneous rock formed by?
Basalt and igneous rocks were formed by what we would call magma/lava
How would you connect the words lava and basalt?
Most lava forms a rock called basalt when it cools.
What rocks would most likely be found on the ocean floor shale granite basalt or marble?
Basalt.

Where would you expect to find lava solidifying into basalt?
You would expect to find lava solidifying into basalt on the flanks of a volcano, most likely a shield volcano.
How will basalt change in the future?
Basalt will not change it the future. Basalt will always be basalt. As rocks unlike humans or animals do not evolve. As they are inanimate objects. The however can be turned back into magma or lava, They can be eroded, or undergo metamorphism. Then then will change in shape and form but basalt will always have the same chemical composure as if it had a different one it would be a different rock.
