At a divergent plate boundary, where new crust is created by infilling magma, creating igneous rock.
igneous rocks
At a convergent boundary, the processes of subduction, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, can lead to the formation of metamorphic rocks such as schist and gneiss. Additionally, the intense heat and pressure generated by the collision of two plates can cause the melting of rocks, leading to the formation of igneous rocks like granite.
Rhyolititcen rocks.
Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.
Metamorphic rocks form when rocks change after undergoing extreme pressure or temperature increase. These temperature changes must be hot enough to reorganize matter within the rock but not hot enough to melt it.
Sedimentary rock can be made up partially of igneous clasts, but igneous rock is igneous rock.
Yes. Volcanic rocks are extrusive igneous rocks.
Igneous rocks
No, igneous rocks are harder than sedimentary rocks on average.
extrusive igneous rocks =/
Some do. These are called extrusive igneous rocks. However a large portion of igneous rocks form beneath the surface. These are intrusive igneous rocks.
Yes. More exactly, intrusive igneous rocks.
