The study of the economic importance of the basaltic rocks in the Rastan region


Abstract in English

Study of basaltic rocks in the Rastan region showed the presence of many morphological and petrographic varieties compatible with rocks of Alhesen castle region. Chemical analyses of studied rocks proved to be alkaline rocks with sodic-potassic nature. Rotten parts of studied rocks considered an important source of civilian installations, paving roads, and as materials for manufacture of cement, in addition to their academic importance in Petrological, paleogeographic, and tectonic studies.
