Melting and Crystallisation
... Magma is molten rock material containing dissolved gases. It is formed by (usually partial) melting of rock deep beneath Earth's surface; and it rises towards the surface because it is less dense than the surrounding rock. When this molten material runs onto Earth's surface, it is called lava. When ...

Basalt
Basalt (pronounced /bəˈsɔːlt/, /ˈbæsɒlt/, /ˈbæsɔːlt/, or /ˈbeɪsɔːlt/)is a common extrusive igneous (volcanic) rock formed from the rapid cooling of basaltic lava exposed at or very near the surface of a planet or moon. Flood basalt describes the formation in a series of lava basalt flows.
