Question

the different types of basalt such as Tholeiitic basalt Mid- ocean ridge basalt (MORB), alkali basalt, high alumina basalt, ocean island basalt, and bainite are found on Earth .
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Basalt is the most common composition of lava rocks that cool from magma, liquid rock that rises from the deep Earth at volcanoes. Today basalt is forming at many active rifts, including Iceland, the East African Rift Valley, the Red Sea and the Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico and Colorado.

Tholeiitic basaltic magmas are initially generated as partial melts of peridotite (olivine and pyroxene) produced by decompression melting of the Earth's mantle. ... In contrast, alkali basalts are not typical of ocean ridges, but are erupted on some oceanic islands and on continents, as also is tholeiitic basalt.
