A lava solidifies into nonvesicular basalt instead of vesicular basalt because:
A) the magma has a low content of gas
B) the lava forms a ropy texture
C) the lava flow breaks apart as it flows
D) the lava flow forms lava tubes
Nonvesicular Basalt
Basalt rock characterized by a solid and dense structure without vesicles, which are small cavities formed by gas bubbles.
Low Content
Refers to materials, information, or substances that are present in minimal amounts.
Ropy Texture
A geological texture characterized by smooth, undulating surfaces, commonly found in pahoehoe lava flows.
