HOW does composition layering occur in igneous bodies?
A layered intrusion is a large sill-like body of igneous rock which exhibits vertical layering or differences in composition and texture.
What processes must occur to produce an igneous rock?
What processes must occur to produce an igneous rock
What proccesses must occur to change any rock to igneous rock?
Melting and solidification are the processes that must occur for a rock to change into igneous rock.
Why do scientists think that an earthquake will occur at the San Andrea's fault?
Because it is a fault and earthquakes usually occur near faults.
What kind of rock forms when magma intrudes into other rocks?
Intrusive igneous rocks. These have large crystals because it is warmer underground, therefore it has more time to cool, therefore the crystals have more time to form and grow, thus large crystals.
HOW does composition layering occur in igneous bodies?
A layered intrusion is a large sill-like body of igneous rock which exhibits vertical layering or differences in composition and texture.
Why would you expect to find different types of metamorphic minerals at increasing distances away from the margin of a large igneous intrusion?
The metamorphism will occur in a zone around the intrusion. The metamorphism will be strongest at points closest to the intrusion and weakest at the point farthest from the intrusion. Heat is causing the rock to metamorphose; the intensity of heat will determine the mineralogy of the rock.

What occur along a fault?
Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
Do most earthquakes occur on fault lines?
Most earthquakes do occur on fault lines.
What fault did the Chilean earthquake occur on?
painful fault
What proccesses must occur to change any rock to igneous rock?
Melting and solidification are the processes that must occur for a rock to change into igneous rock.
What processes must occur to change any rock to igneous rock?
The process that must occur to change any rock to igneous rock is melting.
Do seismic waves occur at a fault?
no they are fault-block mountains
Where can a normal fault occur?
Fault line between the plates
Where do igneous rocks form?
Igneous rock forms from the solidification of magma and lava; this can occur at or below the surface.
What kind of rock is a batholith?
A batholith is not necessarily in a volcano, but it is definitely involved with them. When a large body of magma cools inside the Earth's crust, creating a bed of volcanic rock, this is called a batholith. This can be a magma chamber or otherwise.
