What are tectonic made of Magma and solid mantle crust and magma crust and solid mantle solid rock and molten rock?
Igneous rock
What does it cause when magma escapes from the mantle to the surface of the earth?
Igneous rock.
What are rocks that come from the mantle?
Rocks of the mantle are peridotite, dunite, and eclogite. In deeper regions, the olivine may be replaced by more stable minerals.
Below earths crust is a layer called the mantle which material will most likely be found in the mantle?
Ultramafic igneous rock.
Is a metamorphic rock made in earths crust?
Yes. Metamorphic rocks are any other type of rock (igneous or sedimentary) that has been deformed and altered by exposure to heat, as in from an igneous intrusion or proximity to the mantle.
WHAT ARE Mantle rocks classified as?
Mantle rock is classified as ultramafic igneous rock.
Composition of the mantle?
The mantle is made of ultramafic igneous rock.
What rocks are classified as?
Mantle rock is classified as ultramafic igneous rock.
What are tectonic made of Magma and solid mantle crust and magma crust and solid mantle solid rock and molten rock?
Igneous rock
How could a metamorphic rock go to a igneous rock?
If a metamorphic rock were to reach the mantle and melt, it would become magma. If that magma were then to recrystallize it would be an igneous rock.
What does it cause when magma escapes from the mantle to the surface of the earth?
Igneous rock.
Where do all igneous rocks come from?
All igneous rock is the product of hardened magma from the upper mantle, except for igneous rock formed from extraterrestrial impacts.
What are rocks that come from the mantle?

Ultramafic igneous rock.
What are rocks that come from the mantle called?
Igneous rock.
Where would you be most likely to find granite in earths mantle or earths continents?
you will find it in earths mantle because it is a kind of an igneous rock
How are metamorphic sedimentary and igneous rocks continues?
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling of magma that rises up from the mantle. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the compaction of small grains of weathered igneaous or metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the action of heat and/or pressure on igneous or sedimentary rocks. Finally, subduction process at certain plate boundaries return all three rock types to the mantle. So there exists a contiuous cycle between the three types of rock; starting with igneous rocks, perhaps becoming sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock or both, then returning to the mantle.
