They are not alike: magma is the semi-molton rock layer that forms the mantle. Examples of sediment are the silt (mud) that has dropped out of water to settle on the bottom of rivers or sea; and layers of slate (compressed silt), limestone (the remains of microscopic shelled creatures) and sandstone (compressed sand grains).

What are magma and sediment and how are each formed?
Magma is formed by the heating and cooling of the Earth's crust. Sediment is formed by the soil that is moved downstream from the source of a river to the mouth of the river and the resulting delta.
How is a soft-drink container and magma alike?
they both can explode and and and and kill people
How are magma rocks and lava rocks alike?
they are the same except magma has never been exposed
Magma that is high in silica and produces explosive eruptions?
High silica magma is light in color, thick, sticky and less dense than basalt magma. The magma that forma volcanoes is rich in silica. High silica magma have low temperatures because magma that is high in silica have the lowest temperatures. Silica rich magma builds a tall cone shaped volcano, a Stratovolcano. Magma that is high in silica resists flowing, so expanding gases are trapped in it. Pressure builds up until the gases blast out in a violent, dangerous explosion.
What are hyaloclastites?
A rocktype formed by the flowing or intrusion of lava or magma into water, ice, or water-saturated sediment, and its granulation or shattering into small angular fragments. The process is often driven by contact steam explosivity, cooling processes or mass movement. The sediment consists of hyaline shards of rapid solidified magma and volcanic clasts which are bound together with a glassy or feltlike matrix with the same composition as the clast. They are observed at all types of submarine volcanism (like mid-ocean ridges or seamounts).

What does magma and crust have alike?
it is part of a volcano
How are soft drink in a can and magma alike?
because the soda in a can is like the magma in the chamber both are pressured and when they open up it explodes. c

Does natural gas form from fast or slow cooling magma?
Neither. Natural gas is not a product of magma. It is a product of organic material trapped in sediment as it turns into rock.
What geologic processes transform sandstone into quartzite quartzite into magma and magma into rhyolite?
compacting and cementaing heat and pressure melting
How can you tell if it is an igneous rock?
It will be in a volcanic or sediment rock.
What is a volcanic dike?
A dike is an intrusive body of volcanic magma that pushes it's way between layers of rocks and sediment.
Is a sediment and magma rock the same?
No. Sedimentary rock forms when broken bits of rock get compressed and cemented together. Igneous or "magma" rock forms when molten rock cools and solidifies, essentially freezing.
What is cross-cutting relationship?
A crosscutting feature occurs when a rock or body of sediment cuts across, through fractures, faults, or magma. Any feature that cuts across must be younger than the rock or sediment that it cuts across.
What must happen to rock that formed inside earth before it can become sediment?
It must weather and erode, forming sediment that can eventually lithify into sedimentary rock.
What type of rock is formed by magma that cools deep below earths crust?
Igneous rocks are formed from cooled magma of lava, sedimentary rocks by sediment under pressure, and mettamorphic from any rock that undergoes much heat and/or pressure.
