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.
What do igneous rocks for from?
Igneous rocks form when molten rock (magma) reaches the Earth's surface and cools. It then becomes an igneous rock
What are the ways igneous rock can form?
intrusive igneous rock: magma cools and hardens in the earth and later forms an intrusive igneous rock. extrusive igneous rock: magma flows onto earth's surface and becomes lava. Then, lava cools and hardens above earth's surface and later forms an extrusive igneous rock.
What groups of rocks can igneous rocks be formed from?
igneous rocks are formed by magma reaching earths surface and cooling quickly to form extrusive igneous rock.another igneous rock is called intrusive igneous rock. it is formed when magma cools and hardens below the surface.
What is igneous rocks that form below Eart's surface are called?
Below the Earth's surface an Igneous rock is intrusive. Above the Earth's surface it is called extrusive.Hope this helps.
Which type of rock can form below Earth's surface or below Earth's surface?
Igneous rock can form deep below the surface as intrusive igneous rock, or on or near the surface as extrusive igneous rock. X Answer is: Igneous
Which type of rock can form deep below Earth's surface or above Earth's surface?
Igneous rock can form deep below the surface as intrusive igneous rock, or on or near the surface as extrusive igneous rock. X Answer is: Igneous

What is igneous rocks that form from magma that reaches the surface of the earth?
Extrusive Igneous Rock.
What igneous rock would form from magma if it did not reach the surface but instead crystallized?
Intrusive igneous rock would form. Granite is an example. If the same magma that formed the granite had reached the surface through volcanic eruption, the extrusive igneous rock rhyolite would form.
What type of igneous rock forms form lava or magma that erupts onto the earths surface?
extrusive igneous rock
What type of rock can form deep Earth's surface or above Earth's surface?
igneous
What kind of igneous rock form on or near the earths surface?
through volcanoes, lava comes out and when it cools it turns into igneous rock.
Are all igneous rocks formed inside the earth?
Igneous rock can form inside the Earth or on its surface, from the solidification of molten rock.
