What is moon compose of?
Rocks very similar to those found on Earth.
Are Sedimentary rocks are formed heat and pressure?
No, those are metamorphic rocks.
How do you classify rocks were they form?
those formed deep into the earth are called Intrusive or Plutonic rocks,those formed ator near thesurface are called Extrusive or volcanic rocks
Andesitic rocks have mineral compositions between those of basaltic rocks and?
granitic
What are rocks called that formed from volcanic process?
Those would be igneous rocks. Extrusive igneous rocks.
What is the difference in density in mafic rocks in relation to felsic rocks?
Mafic rocks, such as those found in the oceanic crust, are more dense than the felsic rocks found in the continental crust.
What is moon compose of?
Rocks very similar to those found on Earth.
Why fossils are rarely found in metamorphic and igneous rocks?
This is because igneous and metamorphic rocks are created under extreme heat and pressure, and very few fossils would survive those conditions. The most common forms of fossils are those found in sedimentary rocks.
Fossils found in younger rocks?
The youngest rocks would be igneous, those created by cooling magma. Impossible to find a fossil there.
Which theory explains why rocks found on the ocean floor are younger than those. Found on continents?
Sea Floor Spreading
Where is the youngest rock found in the earth's crust found?
The youngest rocks in the crust are found on and near active volcanoes, such as those at mid-ocean ridges.
What are facts about rocks and minerals?
1)Igneous rocks are the oldest among all other rocks. 2)Basalt,formed after cooling down volcanic lava,is one of the most occurring rocks. 3)Some of the rock samples collected from the room were found to be similar to those found on the earth.

Why can minerals be found in rocks but rocks cannot be found in minerals?
Because rocks are made up of minerals but minerals aren't made up of rocks. Rocks are made up of little bits of many minerals. An example is granite. You know how it has speckles in it? Those are a bunch of mineral grains mixed up to form the rock granite.
Where is the youngest rock found in the earth's crust?
The youngest rocks in the crust are found on and near active volcanoes, such as those at mid-ocean ridges.
Why do some igneous rocks have bubbles or pores and are these rocks intrusive or extrusive?
The bubbles and pores are from trapped gasses which expanded in the molten material as it neared the surface. They're usually found in extrusive igneous rocks, those that have solidified in the air or on the surface.
Why are fossils rare in igneous and metamorphic rock?
This is because igneous and metamorphic rocks are created under extreme heat and pressure, and very few fossils would survive those conditions. The most common forms of fossils are those found in sedimentary rocks.
