observed" - does someone have a different definition of "predominantly" than I do? They're described as being predominantly hexagonal because most of them are hexagonal. Also, what's this about "the mean number is indeed six (by geometrical definition)." How does 'geometrical definition' dictate that it has to be six? It could easily be four, or three. It's six because of the physical process and the physical properties of the material.

The relative proportions of plagioclase and olivine is what is used to estimate if a dark volcanic rock is a basalt or an andesite (in the lack of TAS). If olivine is lacking the rock is most likely an andesite/basaltic andesite. So olivine is key to identify basalts in field or under the microscope.

has a useful note on usage. Based on the note, it would appear that "comprised" is commonly used in this sense, although likely to be criticized as wrong by many (like you). I'm OK with using "comprise" that way, I see it all the time in scientific papers, but I'm happy to accept "composed" as more

Don't get me wrong, I like to read about how the stone is formed. But I guess I feel like this article overlooks the practical uses of basalt as tile. I'd fix it myself, but I'm horrible at gathering information in an easy to read way. But it'd be nice to have a section about the various uses of

reckon that they are primary melts, but of quartz-eclogite from the subducting slab - they also point out that it has been shown experimentally that the High-Al basalts can never have been in equilibrium with either an olivine-bearing magma or source rock. I think that this was where I gave up last

I'm going systematically through this article, adding cites where I have something immediately at hand to back up a statement and putting citation needed spans around everything else. Yes, I know vesicular basalt is a thing; this isn't about accuracy (most of the article appears to be correct) but
1582:
clearly olivine and plagioclase are key to identify basalt in the field or under the microscope, and this has been known and used before and after the IUGS recomended the TAS digram approach. Of course as with most volcanic rock essential minerals might be absent if the rock aphyric, but this does

I have nowhere said anything on how much of the article could be expanded with material from the Spanish wikipedia. But clearly the current poorly sourced version is not trustwothy, and trusworthyness is one of the main problems of Knowledge (XXG). This article have had these problems for years. I

OK, that reads a lot better, thanks. I've found that I'm now able to edit the Basalt page - couldn't yesterday! Did playing around on my own Sandbox page really get me enough "credit" to allow me to edit a semi-protected page??? I'll look at making more changes when I get a free moment - certainly

ALSO -- I don't believe that the Columbia Basin Basalts extend to Yellowstone National Park as the picture indicates. The Columbia Basalts don't cross the Continental Divide. The pictures of columnar jointing are weak -- try using Google to find some nice shots from the Columbia Basin. Why not add
841:
I also agree with the previous comment about the fact that the artical needs a section about the rocks' uses. I'm currently doing a project on Rocks for school & I've chosen Basalt as one of my subjects. I have been asked to find out about its formation, uses & where its found. However, I
547:
Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock, sometimes porphyritic, and is often both fine-grained and dense. Basalt in the tops of subaerial lava flows and cinders will often be highly vesiculated, imparting a lightweight "frothy" texture to the rock. The term basalt is often casually applied to shallow
994:
To answer questions -- average density? Denser than most rocks, including granite. Hardness -- comperable to Mohs? I'd guess an 8. Uses of Basalt? Try googling basalt waste isolation project. Or google "leverite" -- where you just "leave 'er right there." Many uses include aesthetics because of

The following sentence seems awkard to me: Pliny used the word basalt and it is said to have had an Ethiopian origin, meaning a black stone. Even though Pliny has a link, the author uses the name as if anyone reading this article is sure to know who Pliny is and why he was important. I feel it

should have had some kind of comment appended to it such as: Pliny, the world's oldest rock hound in the 1920's,................. I humbly submint this comment for peer review and suggest it only in the hope that it will make the article more easliy readabale. No malice was intended.
1266:
Could someone help me with this. At the beginning of the article it says that Basalt contains less than 20% Quartz.In the drop down menus at the foot of the page it says that Basalt is Mafic and has a 45 to 52% SiO2 content is this because the Si O2 in the Feldspar etc is included.
914:-- this means that Basalt is one member of a class of objects. What distinguishes basalt from the other members of this class? Are no other rocks extrusive and igneous? I have no idea what is being said, and I am not in high school, I am merely a high school science teacher. 1837:
proper sourcing. Yes, I know this will uglify the article, but it's meant as a temporary step towards getting this article properly cited and being able to remove that ugly warning header. And towards moving this article to GA status. Friends, feel free to supply cites. --
1486:
the last line of the "Definition" section "so much so that there is an alternate (but less well known) name for this kind of basalt" needs tweaking! I assume the reference is to Komatiite? I might even add a new page on some (geological) subject some day!
607:
Iceland: Lava from the Katla and the Hekla volcanic systems result in transitional alkalic basalts and the central volcanos ones result in tholeiitic basalts. Question: Is transitional alkalic basalts the same as high alumina basalt? Thx for an answer :)
580:
Basalt isn't extrusive. The word "Basalt" is based on the chemial composition and grainsize, not if it was formed on the surface or underground. It isn't usually fine-grained, by defintion it is fine-grained. If it was medium/coarse grained it would be a

In my personal opinion images shouldn't be watermarked on Knowledge (XXG). The author of the image gets all the credit when his image is viewed full screen or on Commons. Otherwise we might as well wait until the next Wikipedian visits that outcrop.
1535:
I don't speak Spanish, but just having had a very quick look at the Spanish page I see that it describes Olivine and Plagioclase as "essential" minerals (in a basalt) and augite (a pyroxene) as an accessory mineral. I'm not sure I agree with that!
1605:
Isn't it plagioclase and pyroxene that are the essential minerals in a basalt, and olivine that's an accessory (though a common one, and sometime abundant as in an olivine basalt). Describing pyroxene as an accessory is just wrong, isn't it?

If I can obtain permission from the photographer (which appears to be this Simon Ward) to use this image, should it be used here? (Asking as I am not sure whether this image is as appropriate as I think it is, and would like second opinions)

and no)). From what I gathered, they were considered by some to be the same but not by everyone, which isn't very helpful. Transitional I take to mean transitional between tholeiitic and alkaline. High alumina basalt was a term introduced by
1372:
At the end of the petrology section we have - "The origin of high-alumina basalt continues to be controversial, with interpretations that it is a primary melt and that instead it is derived from other basalt types (e.g., Ozerov, 2000)."
548:
intrusive rocks with a composition typical of basalt, but rocks of this composition with a phaneritic groundmass should generally be referred to as gabbro. The crustal portions of oceanic tectonic plates are predominantly made of basalt.

Whew. Everything is footnoted now; not always as solidly as I would like, and a few dubious statements I simply pulled. Should have at least a foundation of solid sourcing. Also tweak up a lot of wording, repetition, and things oddly

The Spanish version is shorter, but better sourced - and many of the sources are in English. I have imported their reading list. It wouldn't make sense to simply replace the English article, but its quality could be improved.

And at the moment, MORB links to a mid-ocean ridge page, which doesn't seem right as MORB is mentioned there at all! We should certainly link mid-ocean ridge there, but MORB, I suggest, needs to link to somewhere else.

I, for one, would like to see an article for trap rock kept separate from basalt in general. For one, not all trap rock is basalt, let alone columnar basalt. Trap rock is manifest in three forms:

A bit of reworking of this section would probably help to make things a lot clearer! Perhaps delete the MORB paragraph and add the following to the end of the tholeiitic paragraph -

This rock has bubbles in it for an interesting reason. The reason is that they were melted by lava. Frankly, I do not get a word of what it means. Thankfully I know what Basalt is.

Just a point that this article states that Boninite is usually found in back-arc basins. It should be FORE-ARC basins and it forms when the arc is closer to the subduction zone
184: 1439:
In the "Types" section MORB is separated from tholeiitic basalt. I find this confusing as MORB is a type of tholeiitic basalt, albeit one errupted in a very particular place.
2070: 514: 2055: 1445:
Ocean floor basalts, errupted originally at mid-ocean ocean ridges, are known as MORB (Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt) and are characteristically low in incompatible elements.

Thanks for pointing this out. It is clear from Ozerov 2000 that this needs to be rephrased. I have updated the para accordingly and link the reference to a callout. --
1048:(which can be formed at the surface or in an intrusive setting). Additionally, trap rock can exhibit any of the following qualities: stacked, jointed, or columnar. 1122:
Basalt which erupts under open air (that is, subaerially) forms three distinct types of lava or volcanic deposits: scoria; ash or cinder (breccia); and lava flows
955:
I also would be highly interested in (human) uses of basalt. Again, comparison with stones with which most people are familiar (granite, marble) would be helpful.
578:
Basalt (IPA: /ˈbæsɒlt, bəˈsɒlt/) is a common gray to black extrusive volcanic rock. It is usually fine-grained due to rapid cooling of lava on the Earth's surface.
