It was formed when lava spread out over the surface of the earth's crust, cooled and hardened. Basalt has tiny crystals as the lava cooled and hardened very quickly in the open air. Basalt is found in the Antrim-Derry plateau in the north east of Ireland. The Giant's Causeway is also part of this plateau. Basalt is used for road chippings!]]> 2018-05-16 19:52:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylingalvin/cats123_andme/wish/261371983 kaylingalvin https://padlet.com/kaylingalvin/cats123_andme/wish/261373683 Basalt!!!]]> 2018-05-16 19:59:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylingalvin/cats123_andme/wish/261373683 kaylingalvin https://padlet.com/kaylingalvin/cats123_andme/wish/261374886 Limestone is a grey rock that can be easily weathered. it was formed at the bottom of warm, shallow seas and is made from particles of shells and fossils. These fell to the bottom of the sea and piled up over millions of years. The weight compressed and cemented the particles into layers of solid rock. Limestone is permeable (water can pass through it) and soluble (it can dissolve in water). Limestone can be found in the Burren Co. Clare. it is used to make monuments and buildings. it is also used to improve soil fertility when it is ground down into lime ]]> 2018-05-16 20:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylingalvin/cats123_andme/wish/261374886 kaylingalvin https://padlet.com/kaylingalvin/cats123_andme/wish/261621957 2018-05-17 15:10:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylingalvin/cats123_andme/wish/261621957
