I thought the barrenness was because of basaltic and granite rocks, and the greenery was due to rich soil after Ghodgaon. |
Whatever the source, an alkalic basaltic magma pooled in the potassium-poor rocks of the lower crust. |
They include lavas and volcaniclastic rocks of basaltic and andesitic composition together with cogenetic gabbros, plagiogranites and granites. |
The fine-grained ash groundmass contains equal proportions of scoriaceous tachylite and palagonite with basaltic lithic fragments. |
Most deep-sea trenches in the Pacific are floored by normal basaltic oceanic crust overlain by pelagic sediments and ash. |
Other basaltic units and syenitic intrusions with ages 0.56 to 0.55 Ga are widely distributed. |
