Which rocks are formed from a hot magma?
igneous rock
What kind of magma does Yellowstone have?
The magma is primarily granitic/rhyolitic, but there are occasional basaltic lava flows.
What kind of rock can magma turn into?
Magma would turn into igneous rock.
What kind of rock does magma form when it hardens?
If the magma cools on the surface of the crust, it is called extrusive igneous rock, such as pumice, basalt or rhyolite. If the magma cools inside the crust, it is called intrusive igneous rock, such as granite.
When a sedimetary rock melts what kind of rock does it form?
When a sedimentary rock or any other rock kind melts, it becomes magma and when it sollidifies it forms an igneous rock.
What kind of rock forms from magma?
igneous rock
What kind of mineral does magma form when it cools?
When magma cools, it forms igneous rock.
Which rocks are formed from a hot magma?
igneous rock
What kind of rock forms when magma or lava cool and hardens?
Igneous rocks
What kind of rock forms from magma that cools below the earth's surface?
Intrusive Igneous Rock.
What type rock forms when magma cools and hardens?
Igneous Rock is formed when magma cools and hardens. It depends on whether it cools above ground or under ground for the size of the mineral crystals forming inside it.
What kind of rock forms when hot liquid rock or magma cools?
Extrusive igneous rocks. The type of extrusive igneous rock is determined by the composition of the lava.
What kind of magma does Yellowstone have?
The magma is primarily granitic/rhyolitic, but there are occasional basaltic lava flows.
What kind of of volcanic eruption occurs when basaltic magma is present?
Basaltic magma usually produces a Hawaiian or Stombolian style of eruption.
What kind of magma is formed at divergent boundaries?
Usually a dense basaltic magma with low water content.
What is the major material composing igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks are formed from minerals that have crystallized from magma. The minerals include quartz, feldspars, amphibole, micas, and the elements oxygen, silicon, iron, manganese, magnesium, and calcium among others.
What is the only kind of rock that can form directly from magma?
By definition. A sedimentary rock is formed from sediments, chemical, organic, or clastic. A metamorphic rock has undergone a change in mineral alignment or mineral composition due to heat and/or pressure. An igneous rock forms from solidification of magma via cooling.
