    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basalt

    Basalt (UK: / ˈ b æ s ɒ l t,-ɔː l t,-əl t /; [1] [2] US: / b ə ˈ s ɔː l t, ˈ b eɪ s ɔː l t /) [3] 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.

  3. Komatiite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komatiite

    Komatiitic lava was extremely fluid when it erupted (possessing the viscosity close to that of water but with the density of rock). Compared to the basaltic lava of the Hawaiian plume basalts at ~1200 °C, which flows the way treacle or honey does, the komatiitic lava would have flowed swiftly across the surface, leaving extremely thin lava ...

  4. Andesite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andesite

    QAPF diagram with basalt/andesite field highlighted in yellow. Andesite is distinguished from basalt by SiO 2 > 52%. Andesite is field O2 in the TAS classification.. Andesite is an aphanitic (fine-grained) to porphyritic (coarse-grained) igneous rock that is intermediate in its content of silica and low in alkali metals.

  5. Volcanic rock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_rock

    The terms lava stone and lava rock are more used by marketers than geologists, who would likely say "volcanic rock" (because lava is a molten liquid and rock is solid). "Lava stone" may describe anything from a friable silicic pumice to solid mafic flow basalt, and is sometimes used to describe rocks that were never lava, but look as if they ...

  6. Flood basalt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_basalt

    Flood basalt commonly displays columnar jointing, formed as the rock cooled and contracted after solidifying from the lava.The rock fractures into columns, typically with five to six sides, parallel to the direction of heat flow out of the rock.

  7. Fire rock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_rock

    Fire rock is manufactured lava rock that is sold in various shapes and sizes, and is used as a medium for retaining direct heat. Fire rocks are used in natural gas fireplaces or in natural gas or propane burning fire pits. It may be used as the main fuel distributor or as padding for fire glass to go on top.

  9. Scoria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoria

    Scoria is a pyroclastic, highly vesicular, dark-colored volcanic rock formed by ejection from a volcano as a molten blob and cooled in the air to form discrete grains called clasts. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is typically dark in color (brown, black or purplish-red), and basaltic or andesitic in composition.
