It also contains some iron oxide (FeO) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3), which give it a dark color, typically appearing in shades of black and green. Sometimes, red or orange colors may appear in basalt due to the presence of iron compounds oxidizing. Basalt forms as an igneous rock from the cooling and crystallization of magma, which usually consists of dark rocks such as peridotite and pyroxene-rich rocks. Some light-colored basalts form when basaltic magma contains a higher-than-usual amount of calcium or sodium-rich minerals.                                <\/h4>\n                                <p
