Hi,

Basalt is a rock that cooled quickly after lava erupted through a volcano. Basalt is a fine-grained rock. Fine-grained means a rock has smaller components of which the larger ones are composed. Extrusive rocks are usually fine-grained. When magma comes up to the surface and solidifies it forms fine-grained rocks like basalt.
