Answer:

Explanation:

Basalt underlies more of Earth's surface than any other rock type. Most areas within Earth's ocean basins are underlain by basalt. Although basalt is much less common on continents, lava flows and flood basalts underlie several percent of Earth's land surface. Basalt is a very important rock.

It is found all over Earth, but especially under the oceans and in other areas where Earth's crust is thin. It formed in the Isle Royale-Keweenaw region because of the Midcontinent Rift. Most of Earth's surface is basalt lava, but basalt makes up only a small fraction of continents.

Basalt is a igneous rock. It is formed from lava and is found in volcanic mountains and sometimes in sea beds.
