What is a mass of rock that is formed when magma is cooled inside the crust?
An intrusive (plutonic) igneous rock, eg sills and batholiths.
Large plutonic rocks called?
the large plutonic rocks formed by the hardening of magma into the earths crust is called the ignius rocks
What boundary is formed when magma rises to the surface and new crust is formed?
divergent

What type of rocks are produced from the molten material deep beneath the surface of the Earth called magma?
Such rock is referred to as plutonic igneous rock if it is part of a large solidified mass of magma at large depths in the crust, or as intrusive igneous rock if simply solidified at some depth within the crust. Plutonic igneous rock is therefore a type of intrusive igneous rock.

Where are plutonic and volcanic rocks formed?
Plutonic rocks are formed by magma hardening underground. Sometimes they get pushed up to the surface. Stone Mountain in Georgia is plutonic. Volcanic rock forms when lava hardens on the surface, not underground. Some volcanoes are built up in this way.
Where is gabbro found in the earth?
Gabbro is an igneous, plutonic rock, formed when magma is trapped under the Earth's surface and cools into a crystalline form. A large portion of the Earth is underlain by gabbro within the oceanic crust.
Igneous rock forms from?
Plutonic rock is formed from magma in the Earth's crust. Volcanic rocks form from lava above ground.
Where is each type of igneous rock formed?
The Extrusive igneous rock is formed on the earths surface while the Intrusive igneous rock is formed within or inside the earths crust.
Is tuff formed in the oceanic crust?
No. Tuff is not formed in the crust but on the surface. Tuff is a kind of rock formed from volvanic ash.
What does the large crystals show about the rock formation?
It shows that the rock is a plutonic rock and was formed as a result of slow cooling within the earths crust/interior.
What boundary is formed when magma rises to the surface and new crust is formed?
divergent
What is igneous rock formed in the Earth's crust?
Igneous rock formed in the earths crust is known as intrusive rock. The magma that forms it cools slowly and therefore, creates rock with large crystals. An example of an intrusive igneous rock is granite.

What is the layer of earth that formed as lighter elements rose to the surface?
The Crust
