A study of strength and deformation measurements for basaltic rocks along with consideration of the influence of fracturing using a rock mass classification system documents the range of brittle response for basaltic rock masses Although basalts vary widely in composition and other physical factors many of the properties of a basaltic rock mass appear to vary within a factor of about 10
Igneous rock also known as volcanic rock is formed by the cooling of magma or lava This type of rock is classified by cooling time and the type of magma it is formed from The properties of these rocks vary greatly including their chemical composition grain structure texture and color
Dec 18 2017 Basalt are dark color or melanocratic rock they are fine grained and contains pyroxene and plagioclase feldspar They are formed or Crystalized as an extrusive rock although sometimes they can form as a dyke in other rock body
