Chapter 12.1 Notes
... Rocks taken from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge were younger than other ocean rocks. Sediments along the ridge became thicker farther away from the ridge. Paleomagnetism shows that iron-based rocks along the ridges are striped with reversing magnetic fields. Volcanoes are frequently found on boundaries betw ...

IGNEOUS ROCK - CoconinoHighSchool
... When magmas reach the surface of the Earth they erupt from a vent. They may erupt explosively or non-explosively. Non-explosive eruptions are favored by low gas content and low viscosity magmas (basaltic to andesitic magmas). Usually begin with fire fountains due to release of dissolved gases ...

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.
