Tholeiitic basalt often represents a fine, glassy groundmass consisting of fine-grained quartz and other main constituent minerals. The tholeiitic basalt has fine-porphyritic texture, which is characterized by pyroxene and plagioclase phenocrysts (Fig. 5.39) in fine glassy groundmass.

The mineral compositions and spatial distribution in host rocks are of great importance to the precipitation behavior of secondary minerals. In coarser-grained basalt, carbonates usually crystallize in clusters, while in finer-grained basalt, they are more uniformly distributed on the mineral surface in the form of small crystals (Adeoye et al ...

Accessory minerals present in relatively minor amounts include iron oxides and iron-titanium oxides, such as magnetite, ulvospinel, and ilmenite. Because of the presence of such oxide minerals, basalt can acquire strong magnetic signatures as it cools, and paleomagnetic studies have made extensive use of basalt.

Exercise: Which Mineral Will the phenocryst be? As a magma cools below 1300°C, minerals start to crystallize within it. If the magma is then erupted, the rest of the liquid will cool quickly to form a porphyritic texture. The rock will have some relatively large crystals (phenocrysts) of the minerals that crystallized early, and the rest will be very fine-grained or even glassy.

The weathering of eastern Australian basalts, sampled from the rounded, hard, core-stone to the rind of softer weathered material, has been examined by bulk chemical analyses, thin section petrography, electron microprobe, and X-ray powder diffraction analyses. Using density as a measure of weathering intensity, data from four core-stones show that at a stage of weathering …

Basalt is a potential host rock for CO 2 sequestration because it is rich in Ca-, Mg- and Fe-bearing minerals that can react with dissolved CO 2 to form carbonate minerals, thereby trapping the injected CO 2 in stable solid phases (Gislason et al., 2010, Matter and Kelemen, 2009) A recent report on the CarbFix site in Iceland revealed that 95% ...

The major constituent minerals of basalt (pyroxenes, olivine and plagioclase feldspar) typically weather faster, and can therefore potentially capture CO 2 faster, than minerals commonly found in granitic or sedimentary rocks (e.g. quartz, K-feldspar, muscovite) (Palandri and Kharaka, 2004).

The crust is compositionally distinct outermost rocky layer of the Earth. What is the crust made of? The answer to this question depends on whether we want to know which chemical elements, minerals or rock types it is made of. It may be surprising but about a dozen chemical elements, minerals, or rock types is all that it takes to describe approximately 99% of the crust.
