What are the main differences between cabinet construction and furniture construction? Different joinery, materials, finishes, tools important to furniture making? What defines a piece as a quality one? I have a whole house of hand-me-down garage sale furniture, so I have plenty of pieces to practice on.
Basalt Rocks. Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock that is very dark in color. It is the most common type of rock in the Earth's crust and it makes up most of the ocean floor. It is made of many dark colored minerals such as pyroxene and olivine.Basalt also contains some light colored minerals such as feldspar and quartz, but the amounts are small.t is the most common type of rock in the Earth's crust and it makes up most of the ocean floor.

Basaltic rocks of the ocean plates are much denser and heavier than the granitic rock of the continental plates. Because of this the continents ride on the denser oceanic plates. The crust and the upper layer of the mantle together make up a zone of rigid, brittle rock called the Lithosphere. The layer below the rigid lithosphere is a zone of asphalt-like consistancy called the Asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is the part of the mantle that flows and moves the plates of the Earth. The mantle is the layer located directly under the sima. It is the largest layer of the Earth, 1800 miles thick.
