What is the difference between igneous and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma or lava. Sedimentary rock is formed from the lithification of sediments, generally.
Can sizes of crystals in sedimentary rock tell us how quickly the lava or magma cooled that formed the rock?
Yes it can.
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
Is sandstone an igneous rock?
No. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock, composed of cemented grains of sand-sized sediment particles. Igneous rock is formed from the cooling of magma or lava.
A rock made from cooled magma or lava?
Igneous rock is formed from solidified and cooled magma or lava.
Why are stalagmites and stalactites sedimentary rocks?
stalactites and stalagmites are sedimentary rock becausethey are made from sediment that as formed together. just like how igneous rock is formed by lava or magma that has cooled over time.
Is sedimentary rock formed by lava?
no that is igneus
What type of rocks is formed by coolong magma or lava?
The type of rock formed by cooling of Magma or Lava is Igneous
How does sedimentary rock turn to lava?
Sedimentary rock does not directly turn into lava. Instead, when sedimentary rock is subjected to extreme heat and pressure, it can undergo metamorphism, potentially transforming into metamorphic rock. If this metamorphic rock is further subjected to even higher temperatures, it can melt and become magma. When magma erupts to the surface, it is called lava.
Is sedimentary rock formed from cooling magma?
No, sedimentary rock is formed from the deposition and compression of sediment such as sand, silt, and clay. Cooling magma forms igneous rock when it solidifies.
Is a sedimentary rock formed below earth's surface as magma?
No. A rock formed below earth's surface as magma is an igneous rock.
What is a type of rock formed when lava or magma cools?
the type of rock formed when lava or magma cools is igneous rock..
