What else can I help you with?
A molten rock starting with l?
A molten rock that has cooled is an Igneous rock. To my knowledge there is not a specific igneous rock that starts with L. However molten rock above ground is called lava.
Why would granite have larger crystals than igneous rocks formed from lava cooled above the earth's surface?
Because crystals in granite had more time to form
What are the characteristics of igneous rocks formed underground?
Usually they have larger crystals and coarser grain than those formed above ground.
Why would granite rock have larger crystals than igneous rocks formed from lava cooled above the earth's surface?
Because crystals in granite had more time to form
Is igneouse rocks in the ground or above?
Igneous rocks can be found both in the ground and above ground. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, which can happen below the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rocks) or on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks).
When molten rock undergoes crystallization above ground what type of rock results?
Extrusive igneous rock is the result of above ground crystallization.
How is ignius rock formed?
it is formed either underground or above ground. it is formed underground when hot magma is trapped and cools slowly, when it has cooled down it has then become igneous rock but on top of the ground the lava cools much quicker then what it does below the ground
How can you tell the difference between an igneous rock that formed above ground and one that formed below?
Igneous rocks that form below ground (intrusive) have larger crystals due to slower cooling, whereas igneous rocks that form above ground (extrusive) have smaller crystals or a glassy texture due to rapid cooling. Additionally, intrusive rocks may show visible layering or bands, while extrusive rocks typically have a more uniform appearance.
Intrusive igneous rock is cooled and solidified above ground?
False. Intrusive igneous rock forms underground when magma cools and solidifies slowly. Extrusive igneous rock forms when magma erupts onto the Earth's surface and cools quickly.
What type of rock is formed from the magma that is cooled above earth's surface?
Igneous rock. the definition of igneous: Formed by solidification from a molten state.
Can igneous rock be formed above or below ground?
Yes, igneous rocks can be formed both above and below the ground. When molten rock solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, it forms intrusive igneous rocks like granite. If molten rock reaches the Earth's surface and cools rapidly, it forms extrusive igneous rocks like basalt.
Why would granite have larger crystals than igneous rocks formed from lava cooled above earths surface?
I think igneous rock have a larger crystal than all the others because igneous rock is all the way at the bottom of earth surface and it keeps cool of or hot at the same time.
