Igneous rocks are described as intrusive or extrusive based on?
Igneous rocks are described as intrusive or extrusive based on formation. Intrusive rocks forms underneath the earth surface, while extrusive rocks forms on the surface of earth.
Name some rocks which have crystals?
All rocks have crystals, or at least crystalline structures. Sedimentary rocks may not have crystals as such, but the individual grains have internal crystal structures. All magmatic and metamorphic rocks have crystals, though they may be too small to be seen without the aid of a microscope. Only possible exception is Obsidian (volcanic glass) which may be amorphous.
What do both weathering and erosion produce?
New rocks, landforms and structures. The first from the sediments from the weathered rocks. Also solutions of minerals such as calcium carbonate, from limestone.
Are pyramids considered igneous rocks?
No. They pyramids are man-made structures made out of sandstone (which is a sedimentary rock).

Igneous rocks are described as intrusive or extrusive based on?
Igneous rocks are described as intrusive or extrusive based on formation. Intrusive rocks forms underneath the earth surface, while extrusive rocks forms on the surface of earth.
How is deformation related to metamorphic rock structures?
deformation is related to metamorphic rock structures because deformation can create metamorphic rocks through the stress it creates, and also certain structures in the foliations of metamorphic rocks can indicate stress and stress direction from deformation. Some structures caused by stress are folds and faults, and the resulting indicators in metamorphic rocks include things such as sigma structures, Z structures, mica fish, boudinage structures and many others.
What is an adjective related to rocks?
Most rocks could be described as "hard" or "durable."
How do natural rocks structures form?
by heat and pressure
What erosional processes modify marine structures?
becuse the rocks smash againt oter rocks
What are metamorphic rocks in which the long axes of their minerals are perpendicular to the pressure that altered them described as?
foliated rocks
What is the terms of remain left in rocks?
Residual structures and fossils.
What did Armstrong have to say about structures on the moon?
