Basalt is dark, fine-grained and often vesicular (having gas pockets). The pockets may be filled with secondary minerals, e.g. quartz, zeolite minerals, calcite, opal, etc. and then it is called amygdaloidal (a-mig-duh-loy-dal) basalt. The name may have originated with Pliny who used the Ethiopian word basal for iron-bearing rocks. (*) Basalt ...

به خواندن ادامه دهیدOf the three types of rock—sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic—the vast majority at or near the surface in Kansas are sedimentary. Igneous rocks are formed from hot molten magma that pushes up toward the surface from Earth's interior. Metamorphic rocks are altered from existing rock through heat, pressure, and chemical processes.
