In which layer of the earth basalt rocks are found

Answer 1

The Oceanic Crust of Earth is made of Basalt rock

Explanation:

• The planet Earth consists of four main layers. Out of which Crust is the top most layer.

• According to scientists, with the passage of time, Earth cooled down. Which resulted in the movement of lighter material to the top.

• Thus, the lightest material is Basalt and granite.

• Therefore, granite makes continental crust while Sasalt makes the oceanic crust.
