When lava erupts from a volcano and cools down, it hardens and becomes an igneous rock
Yes, it can. Re-melting of igneous rock underground actually plays an important role in how magma chambers develop.
Igneous rocks will develop large crystals is they cool slowly underground.
Igneous rock is formed.
False. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock and so commonly cools slowly so has time to develop moderate to large crystals.
Igneous rock is formed when magma cools and becomes solid.
Obsidian is an igneous rock.
Extrusive igneous rock such as basalt, rhyolite, pumice, and obsidian.
Cooling and solidifying magma turns into igneous rock.
Yes, granite is a type of igneous rock.
Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock.
D. where the rock was formed determines whether igneous rock is intrusive or extrusive. Intrusive igneous rocks form from magma that cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing larger crystals to develop. In contrast, extrusive igneous rocks form from lava that cools quickly on the surface, resulting in smaller crystals. Thus, the location of formation is key to classifying igneous rocks.
It is called an intrusive igneous rock.
