If magma crystallizes before it reaches earth's surface it will form a what igneous rock?
It will for an intrusive igneous rock. They usually take longer to cool and have more coarse grains.
What statement best describes an igneous intrusion?
Ingenious intrusion happens when magma dries and hardens before it reaches the surface. Typically, it forms thin, breakable sheets of soft rock.
When magma hardens and comes to the earths surface what is it called?
If the magma has hardened before being exposed at the surface it would be considered an intrusive igneous rock. It is hardens at or near the surface, it would be called extrusive igneous rock.
What percent of radiation is lost before reaching earth's surface?
25% is absorbed by clouds.25% is reflected by clouds.So 50% of the sun's radiation is lost before it reaches earth's surface.See the diagram link below.
What kind of rock is a batholith?
A batholith is not necessarily in a volcano, but it is definitely involved with them. When a large body of magma cools inside the Earth's crust, creating a bed of volcanic rock, this is called a batholith. This can be a magma chamber or otherwise.
If magma crystallizes before it reaches Earths surface will it form an igneous rock?
Yes. It will form a type of igneous rock that is referred to as an intrusive igneous rock.

How did you determine the sequence of the three igneous intrusions?
Igneous intrusions form when magma cools and solidifies before it reaches the surface. Three common types of intrusion are sills, dykes, and batholiths
What is the name when magma reaches the surface?
Magma is liquid rock before it reaches the surface magma which reaches the surface is called lava.

Before molten rock reaches the surface it is called what?
Before lava reaches the surface it is called magma.
Magma that solidifies before reaching the earth's surface is called?
When magma solidifies before reaching Earth's surface it is called intrusive igneous rock, plutonic rock, a pluton. Igneous rock is formed from crystallization of molten magma.
When magma hardens and comes to the earths surface what is it called?
If the magma has hardened before being exposed at the surface it would be considered an intrusive igneous rock. It is hardens at or near the surface, it would be called extrusive igneous rock.
What igneous rock would form from the magma if it did not reach the surface but instead crystallized at great depth?
If magma does not reach the surface and instead crystallizes at great depth, it forms an intrusive igneous rock called granite. Granite is coarse-grained and typically composed of minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica. It forms slowly over millions of years beneath the Earth's surface before being exposed through erosion.
What is melted rock after it hits the surface?
Molten rock, when it hits the surface, is known as lava. Before it reaches the surface, it is known as magma.
What materials are in a volcano?
Lava, or Magma as it is called before it reaches the surface is made out of molten rock.
What is the name for lava before it leaves the volcano?
its magma before it reaches earths surface. lava is when its at earths surface
