Is sedimentary rock formed from cooling magma?
No.
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
What causes igneous rock to form?
Igneous rock is formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
Where does most sedimentary rock form?
They mostly form in volcano magma or lava.
Where do intrusive igneous rock form?
They form underground from the cooling and solidification of magma.
Is sedimentary rock formed from cooling magma?
No.
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.
What sedimentary rock turns into the igneous rock basalt?
None. Basalt is formed by the rapid cooling of mafic (silica-poor) magma. It is not formed from sedimentary rock.
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
How can a sedimentary rock form into a igneous rock?
it melts into magma then cools and hardense

Where does most sedimentary rock form?

When magma cools and hardens does it form igneous rock sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock?
igneous rock.
Why do rock fossils form in sedimentary rock and not in igneous rock?
because sedimentary rocks are on the top layer, while igneous rocks are were the magma is
How does igneous rock sedimentary rock and metamorphic rock different?
Igneous rock is formed by magma cooling and becoming solid. Metamorphic rock is the end result of a process called metamorphism (which means "change in form"). Sedimentary rock is formed by sedimentation of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water.
Where do intrusive igneous rock form?
They form underground from the cooling and solidification of magma.
Is granite metamorphic sedimentary or igneous?
igneous. Made from slowly cooling magma. :)
