Basalt - Igneous rocks - Sandatlas
Basalt is a major rock type that occurs in virtually every tectonic setting. Basalt is clearly the most common volcanic rock on Earth and basaltic rocks (including gabbro, diabase and their metamorphosed equivalents) are the most common rocks in the crust 2. Basalt is also common on the Moon and other rocky planets of the Solar System.

Basalt is one of the most common rock types on Earth, and it can be found in various locations around the world, both on land and under the ocean floor. Basalt is known for its dark color, typically ranging from black to dark gray, and its fine-grained texture.

Basalt is a dark-colored, fine-grained, igneous rock composed mainly of plagioclase and pyroxene minerals. It most commonly forms as an extrusive rock, such as a lava flow, but can also form in small intrusive bodies, such as an igneous dike or a thin sill. It has a composition similar to gabbro.
Basalt - Wikipedia
Basalt ( UK: / ˈbæsɔːlt, - əlt /; [1] US: / bəˈsɔːlt, ˈbeɪsɔːlt /) [2] is an aphanitic (fine-grained) extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of low- viscosity lava rich in magnesium and iron ( mafic lava) exposed at or very near the surface of a rocky planet or moon. More than 90% of all volcanic rock on Earth is basalt.
Basalt | Properties, Formation, Composition, Uses - GEOLOGY HUB
Basalt is a dark-colored, dense rock composed primarily of plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene. It is the most common rock type found in oceanic crust and is an important component of the Earth's continental crust. Basalt is formed through the rapid cooling and solidification of magma at Earth's surface, resulting in the formation of lava flows
