Does magma cool above ground or beneath?
No. Molten rock under the surface is called magma. Molten rock above the surface is referred to as lava.
How do rocks get a sandpaper texture?
The texture of a rock is determined by the rate it takes the molten to cool to form the rock.
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
Why do partly molten materials rise toward earths surface?
Magma is molten or partially molten rock beneath the earth's surface and is lighter than the surrounding rock so it tends to rise. As it moves upward, the magma encounters colder rock and begins to cool.
Where does molten rock cool slowly?
Because the surrounding materials are nearly the same temperature as the molten rock material.
When molten rocks cool it becomes what kind of rock?
igneous rock.

What do you get if you cool molten magma around a few gas bubbles?
Pumice, a volcanic rock that can float.
How does metamorphic rock become molten material?
metamorphic rocks become molten when over millions of years of compaction they come in contact with the magma which melts the rock and if near a volcano the volcano will remove it forming a igneous rock when cool
What happens when a volcano reaches sea?
The molten lava starts to cool in the water and forms igneus rock
