As a result of the hot spot volcanoes of Iceland and Hawaii producing a huge amount of basalt, the nearby beaches are made of <u>black sand.</u>

<u></u>

<h3>What is the effect of Basalt on sand?</h3>

Basalt is a black volcanic rock that is commonly found around volcanoes. It has this coloration and appearance as a result of a high concentration of augite and other dark minerals.

Areas with a high concentration of basalts, such as beaches in Iceland and Hawaii, will reflect this dark hue coloration by generating black sand when combined with basalt.

Answer:

Deep underground, beneath an extinct volcano​

Explanation:

Diorite results from the partial melting of a mafic rock above a subduction zone. It is found in volcanic arcs, and in cordilleran mountain building, such as in the Andes Mountains.

Diorite is formed <u><em>deep within the Earth's crust from cooling magma that never made it to the surface</em></u>. It usually occurs as quite small intrusions often associated with larger intrusions like granite. Slow cooling produces the large crystals.
