They compared prices at Whole Foods stores in half a dozen cities to those at various competing supermarkets to determine which stores were cheaper. They found that Whole Foods is about 15% more expensive than other conventional supermarkets, such as Kroger, Wegmans, and Safeway.
A type of igneous rock. Basalt is the most common rock type in the earth's crust and makes up most of the ocean floor.
As the rock cools, the minerals that make up the rock take shape. All magma that solidifies becomes one of two types of igneous rock: either extrusive rocks, rocks that form on the earth's surface, or intrusive rocks, rocks that form under the earth's surface. Hawaii is made up mostly of extrusive rock called basalt that came from the volcanic activity common to the area.
