    Basalt is an important igneous rock that has many uses. It is commonly used in construction projects due to its hardness, strength and durability. Basalt is often crushed for use as an aggregate in building materials like road surfaces, pavements and concrete. Heating and processing basalt produces stone wool which is an excellent insulator. Basalt is also abundant on the surfaces of the moon and Mars.

    importance of basalt

    Basalt is used in construction (e.g. as building blocks or in the groundwork), making cobblestones (from
    columnar basalt) and in making statues. Heating and extruding basalt yields stone wool, which has
    potential to be an excellent thermal insulator.
