Basaltic, andesitic, and rhyolitic all refer to what?

玄武岩、安山岩和流纹岩都说的？

The skipper's definitely worth his " basalt" .

这位打漂者绝对配得上他的“玄武岩”。

They're formed from eroding lava and basalt rocks that come from volcanic eruptions.

它们由火山喷发侵蚀的熔岩和玄武岩形成的。

Just offshore rise the basalt sea stacks of Reynisdrangar.

近海处有玄武风琴岩 (Reynisdrangar) 的 玄武岩海蚀柱。

The lava on Hawaii is made of basalt, which once cooled, is highly fertile.

夏威的岩浆由玄武岩组成， 该岩一旦冷却，会非常肥沃。

There's also sand on Mars, made of eroded basaltic rock, so it's grey.

火星上也有沙子，由被侵蚀的玄武岩组成，所以灰色的。

It took us two hours to reach the summit of this half-crystal, half-basalt peak.

我们费了两个钟头，才到达这座云斑岩、玄武岩掺杂的尖峰上面。

Basaltic rocks are the most similar to the Venusian plains.

金星地面就像这些玄武岩。

Basalt is the most common type of lava rock found on Venus and throughout the inner Solar System.

玄武岩在金星上普遍存在以及所有其他近日行星上。

For this reason, we recommend only top quality Keweenawan basalt obtained from the upper midwest.

因此，我们只推荐从上中西部获得的高质量的基韦诺玄武岩。

He and his colleagues modeled what might happen if you smashed up a 15-mile-wide asteroid, made of basalt.

他和同事模拟了撞毁一颗15英里宽的玄武岩小行星的情况。

And we realized right away that we had basaltic rocks like one might see in Hawaii.

我们立即意识到这块玄武岩就像夏威可能会看到的。

When we're putting the basalt down on agricultural land, we typically apply it at about 20 tons per hectare.

当我们把玄武岩粉末用在农业用地上时，我们通常每公顷会施用20吨左右。

That's why Mercury, Venus, Mars, and even Jupiter's volcanic moon have plenty of basalt but little granite.

这就为水星、金星、火星，甚至木星的火山卫星都有大量的玄武岩，却很少有花岗岩。

Typically, basaltic lava flows are glassy enough that in fact you would cut your hand. They can be extremely sharp.

特别的，这些玄武岩浆流玻璃状的可以锋利到切掉你的手。

The NASA geologist were intrigued to find not only basalts but rocks of another sort.

美国航天局的地质学家私下希望看到的不仅仅玄武岩，而另外一种石头。

Molten basalt is runnier than recycled magma and spreads out into broad " shield" volcanoes like Mars's Olympus Mons.

熔融的玄武岩比再循环的岩浆更流动，并向广阔的“盾状”火山扩散，就像火星的奥林匹斯山一样。

The proportion of empty space in a rock is known as its porosity.

因此，不管沉积物疏松还坚固，它们中一定有空间。大部分结晶体岩石都非常坚硬，但也有例外，最常见的就玄武岩，它一种固化的火山熔岩，经常充满了微小气泡，从而变得十分多孔。
