Dombo regomo rinoputika (rinozivikanwa sepumice kana kuti basalt rine maburi) chinhu chinoshanda uye chine hushamwari kune zvakatipoteredza, iro idombo rinokosha kwazvo rine maburi rinoputika rinoumbwa negirazi regomo rinoputika, zvicherwa, uye mabhuru mushure mekuputika kwegomo. Dombo regomo rinoputika rine zvicherwa zvakawanda uye zvinhu zvidiki zvakaita sesodium, magnesium, aruminiyamu, silicon, calcium, titanium, manganese, iron, nickel, cobalt, uye molybdenum. Harisi chiedza uye rine mafungu emagetsi e-infrared. Mushure mekuputika kwegomo kusina tsitsi, mushure memakumi ezviuru zvemakore, vanhu vari kuwedzera kuwana kukosha kwaro. Iye zvino rakawedzera minda yaro yekushandisa kuminda yakaita sekuvaka, kuchengetedza mvura, kukuya, zvinhu zvekusefa, marasha ebarbecue, kugadzira minda, kurima pasina ivhu, uye zvigadzirwa zvekushongedza, zvichiita basa risingatsiviwi mumaindasitiri akasiyana-siyana.

Basalt idombo remhando yepamusoro regomo rinoputika, iro riri rudzi rwedombo rakatetepa kana kuti refuro rakaumbwa neguruva rinobva mugomo rinoputika mushure mekutonhorera pamusoro. Riri redombo remagmatic. Chimiro charo chedombo chinowanzo ratidza maumbirwo estomatal, almond, uye porphyritic, dzimwe nguva nemakristaro makuru emaminerari. Basalt isina kusimba inonyanya kuva dema negrey, uye kunewo dema brown, dema purple, uye grey green.

Basalt ine maburi (pumice), nekuda kwekuoma kwayo kukuru uye kuoma kwayo kukuru, inogona kusanganiswa nekongiri kuti ideredze huremu hwayo, asi ichiri yakasimba uye ine hunhu hwakadai sekudzikamisa ruzha uye kudzimisa kupisa. Imhando yakanaka yekongiri yakareruka muzvivakwa zvemarefu. Pumice ichiri chinhu chekukuya chakanaka, chinogona kushandiswa kukuya zvinhu zvesimbi nematombo; Muindasitiri, inogona zvakare kushandiswa semafirita, maomesa, macatalysts, nezvimwewo. Mataira ematombo emhando ye "natural volcanic" lava nematombo ebasalt ari kutengeswa.
