| | The shape, structure and texture of a basalt is diagnostic of the way it erupted and where it erupted - whether into the sea, in an explosive cinder eruption or as <<b>bb>>creepingb>bb>> pahoehoe lava flows, the classical image of Hawaiian basalt eruptions. | | | Maar volcanoes are typical of small basalt tuffs, formed by explosive eruption of basalt through the crust, forming an apron of mixed basalt and wall rock breccia and a fan of basalt tuff further out from the volcano. | | | The term basalt is at times applied to shallow intrusive rocks with a composition typical of basalt, but rocks of this composition with a phaneritic (coarse) groundmass should generally be referred to as dolerite or gabbro. |

| | Cutaneous larva migrans (<<b>bb>>creepingb>bb>> eruption) is a dermatitis caused by the larvae of Ancylostoma braziliense, the dog and cat hookworm, which penetrate human skin and migrate in the subepidermal tissue. | | | A similar cutaneous eruption may occur in patients with intestinal Strongyloides stercoralis when the perianal skin is autoinoculated by infective larvae passed in the stool. | | | Cutaneous larva migrans is primarily a disease of the subtropics, including the southern United States, and occurs wherever soil is contaminated by the feces of infected animals. |
