Summary Of: Basaltic

Basaltic cinders are often red... texture is very common in underwater basaltic flows and is diagnostic of an underwater eruption environment when found in ancient rocks... a significant role in the chemical exchange between basaltic rocks and seawater... present in basaltic rocks provide potential energy sources for bacteria... sulfide surfaces are also able to grow with basaltic rock as a source of Fe...
