What features form as a result of magma hardening beneath earth surface?
The features that form as a result of magma of magma hardening beneath the earth's surface are volcanic necks,sills and batholiths.
What features do all volcanoes share?
Pocket of magma beneath the surface
Why don't flood basalts build volcanic cones?
Flood basalts build volcanic cones because flood basalts are believed to originate when the head of a mantle hotspot first arrives beneath the base of a plate. Because of this, they are unable to build volcanic cones.
As a volcanic mountain range is built isostatic adjustment will cause the crust beneath the mountains to do what?
Thicken, or become deeper relative to the surface.
When oceanic plunges beneath continental crust volcanic activity and earthquakes may result in which region does this occur?
The continental margins of the Pacific Ocean

What are some of the physical features of the Moon's surface?
cratered and icy it looks volcanic but its not. It has an ocean 6 miles beneath crust
How are volcanic rocks produced?
A volcano is formed when the molten magma (lava) beneath the crust is forced to the surface. Volcanic rock is lava that has cooled.
Unlike a volcanic mountain a batholith forms from magma that?
cools and hardens beneath the surface
Features that are thought to be deposited in tunnels that run beneath the ice are?
eskers.
What features do all volcanoes share?
Pocket of magma beneath the surface
What is the definition of intrusive volcanic features?
When hot molten magma escapes from the Earth's core becoming cooler, and forming hard rocks, we refer to this process as volcanism. Volcanism takes place both above the surface of Earth, as well as beneath its surface. When molten lava escapes the Earth and reaches the surface geologists say that it is extrusive volcanism. When molten magma cools and hardens beneath the surface of the Earth, we say that it is intrusive volcanism. In some cases, molten magma cools and hardens deep beneath the surface of the Earth, far below the crust. When this happens, scientists call it plutonic volcanism.

Which type of landform develops at plate boundaries where one oceanic plate descends beneath another?
A volcanic island arc
4 letter word for rock or other features lying beneath the sea?
