| Abstract | ||||
| Bahariya oasis is located in the western desert of Egypt at about 160 km west of the Minya city. It's exposed thick succession ranging from upper Cretaceous to Miocene in age. The depression is characterized by its flatness except for several isolated hills. These hills are al-hafuf, mount Hamada, and Matila Radwan in the southwest, and Al-mu'aysira and Mandisha in the north, where the Edges extend around the depression. Main locations of Basalt rocks are in Gebel El Hefhuf ,El-agoz hill, Mayesra, Mandisha and Basalt hill.Mineralogical and Geochemical discrepancies between the two batches could have originated from various petrogenetic processes including one or more of the following in the study. we propose that these chemical variations are linked to a mixture of superimposed processes involving mantle source, partial melting, and fractionation path. Significance of basalt fiber: known as “the green industrial material of the XXI-century”, combines ecological safety, natural longevity and many other properties. Its applications are surely innovative in many industrial and economic fields, from building and construction to energy efficiency, from automotive to aeronautic, its good mechanical and chemical performances. Hence basalt fiber has gained increasing attention as a reinforcing material especially compared to traditional glass and carbon fibers. The significance of Basalt fiber as a new reinforcing material. . | ||||
