Basalt is the dark, heavy volcanic rock that makes up most of the world's oceanic crust. Some of it erupts on land, too, but to a first approximation, basalt is an oceanic rock. Compared to the familiar granite of the continents, basalt ("ba-SALT") is darker, denser and finer grained. It's dark and dense because it's richer in the dark, …Web

Mafic rocks contain less that 5% quartz, if any. A dark color, due to an abundance of hornblende, clinopyroxene, or olivine, and sometimes Ca-rich plagioclase, characterizes these rocks. They include syenite, monzonite, and gabbro, and their volcanic equivalents trachyte, latite, and basalt. K-feldspar dominates syenitic rocks.Web
