The Palisades, Rocky Hill, Sourland Mountain, and Cushetunk Mountain are underlain by diabase layers. The Watchung Mountains, Long Hill, and Hook Mountain are underlain by basalt layers.

The action of heat hardens the rock and develops new crystals in it. Crystalline marble is produced this way from amorphous limestone by the action of heat and pressure.
