Robert Delaunay, 1912â13, Le Premier Disque, 134 cm (52.7 in.), Private collection. Abstract art uses a visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. Western art had been, from the Renaissance up to the middle of the 19th century, underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality.
The magma here also cools into rock, but at a much slower speed than the lava at the surface. This gives crystals more time to grow, making the larger-grained rock known as gabbro. So thatâs why basalt is at the top of the ocean plate and gabbro is at the bottom. To put it in the form of the worldâs worst poem:
Basalt is a type of volcanic igneous rock that forms outside of the earth and is used for different purposes in construction. Discover how basalt is used as a major component of asphalt for roads with help from a science tutor and field biologist in this free video on basalt and chemistry.o, basalt is a type of volcanic rock. It's also an extrusive volcanic rock which simply means that it formed outside of the earth. So, it cools, it gets ejected or it goes out into the surface of the earth and cools in air.
