A type of igneous rock. Basalt is the most common rock type in the earth's crust and makes up most of the ocean floor.
Rocks of the oceanic crust tend to be heavier than those of the continental crust. When the heavy oceanic rocks of the Pacific Plate meet the lighter continental rocks of the Australian Plate (along the North Islandâs east coast), they dive (subduct) beneath the Australian Plate. This process influences and largely explains the varied shape of the New Zealand sea floor. Previous Short Story Next.
