What are rocks that come from the mantle?
Rocks of the mantle are peridotite, dunite, and eclogite. In deeper regions, the olivine may be replaced by more stable minerals.
Is tuff an extrusive igneous rock?
Yes. Tuff is an extrusive igneous rock formed by explosive volcanic eruptions.
Is igneous released in volcanic eruptions?
Correct. Igneous rocks fly out of volcanic eruptions
When molten rock erupts on earths surface it is called?
Igneous rock that flowed out of the surface if lava; lava blown out of explosive eruptions is Volcanic Ash, or Tuff.
What are dark colored igneous rocks called?
Granitic igneous rocks are light colored rocks of a low density. Granitic magma is thick and stiff and contains a lot of silicon and oxygen. Granitic magma can build up a great deal of pressure, which is released during violent volcanic eruptions.
What is A light colored igneous rock with high silica context explosive eruptions?
majority
Is tuff an extrusive igneous rock?
Yes. Tuff is an extrusive igneous rock formed by explosive volcanic eruptions.

Cinder cone volcanoes produce quiet eruptions.?
No, they produce very explosive eruptions. They do not erupt much magma, instead exuding chunks of ash and semi-hardened igneous rock.
Is igneous released in volcanic eruptions?
Correct. Igneous rocks fly out of volcanic eruptions
When molten rock erupts on earths surface it is called?
Igneous rock that flowed out of the surface if lava; lava blown out of explosive eruptions is Volcanic Ash, or Tuff.
How does the density of a light colored igneous rock differ from that of a dark colored igneous rock?
Normally, light colored igneous rocks are less dense compared to dark colored igneous rocks. This is because the light colored rocks have a less iron in them.

Granitic igneous rocks are light colored rocks of a low density. Granitic magma is thick and stiff and contains a lot of silicon and oxygen. Granitic magma can build up a great deal of pressure, which is released during violent volcanic eruptions.
Igneous rocks that are dense and dark colored they form from magma that is rich in iron and magnesium and poor in silica?
Igneous rocks that are dense and dark-colored are called basaltic rocks. They are formed from magma that is rich in iron and magnesium and poor in silica content.
In general how does the density of a light colored igneous rock differ from that of a dark colored igneous rock?
Light-coloured igneous rocks, such as granite, have a higher silica content and lower iron and magnesium than darker ones, such as basalt. Since iron and magnesium are very dense minerals, this makes darker igneous rocks more dense than lighter ones.
Light-colored igneous rocks are less what than dark-colored igneous rocks are?
less dense
What do Volcanic eruptions form igneous rock sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock?
Igneous rocks
