Does granite form at the earth's surface?
No, granite forms deep within the Earth's crust from the slow cooling of magma. It is an intrusive igneous rock, meaning it forms below the surface.
Does granite cool below ground?
above
How are granite rocks made?
Granite is formed by the cooling and consolidation of felsic magma below the surface of the Earth.
Which type of rock can form deep below surface or above earths 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
Is granite a stone?
Yes. Granite is an igneous rock. It is formed when magma cools slowly below the surface of the earth.
The extrusive counterpart of granite?
The extrusive chemical equivalent of intrusive granite is rhyolite.
What are found below the earth surface?
iron granite coal moten rock
What type of rock can form above or below earths surface?
Igneous rocks can form both above and below the Earth's surface. When magma erupts from a volcano and cools quickly, it creates extrusive igneous rocks, such as basalt, on the surface. Conversely, intrusive igneous rocks, like granite, form when magma cools slowly beneath the surface. Both types result from the cooling and solidification of molten rock.
What is igneous rocks that form below Eart's surface are called?
Igneous rocks that form below the Earth's surface are called intrusive or plutonic rocks. These rocks cool and solidify slowly, allowing large mineral crystals to form. Examples include granite and diorite.
Why is granite instrusive?
an granit rock formed when magma remains in pockets below the surface
What type of rock can form deep below the Earth's surface or above Earth's surface?
Igneous rock can form both deep below the Earth's surface and above it. When magma cools and solidifies beneath the surface, it creates intrusive igneous rocks like granite. Conversely, when lava erupts and cools quickly on the surface, it forms extrusive igneous rocks such as basalt. Both types originate from molten material but differ in their formation conditions.
Is granite formed from organisms?
No. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, formed from the cooling, solidification, and crystalization of magma below the earth's crust/surface.
