Can igneous rock be formed above or below ground?
It is formed both- above ground (as extrusive igneous rocks) or below ground (as intrusive igneous rocks).
Are metamorphic rocks formed above or below ground?
they are formed above and below ground
Do rocks with small crytals form underground or above ground?
Rocks with small crystals form above ground, because when formed under ground the magma makes the rock cool slower causing more time for the crystals to grow. Above ground the rock cools faster, because the air isn't as hot under ground than above ground.
How egneous rocks are formed?
Igneous rocks are types of rocks that are formed by fire. They can be formed in the ground from magma that gets trapped in air pockets. Above ground they can form when lava cools along the ground.
What are the features of intrusive igneouse rocks?
intrusive rocks have a finer texture and extrusive such as lava rock are more course. intrusive rocks are cooled within the earth and extrusive cooled outside the earth.
Which types of rocks are formed above ground?
Extrusive igneous rocks are one type of rocks that can be formed above the ground. Sedimentary rocks can also be formed above the ground.
What types of rocks are formed above ground?
Extrusive igneous rocks and some sedimentary rocks are formed above ground.
What rock types are formed above ground?
Extrusive igneous rocks and some sedimentary rocks are formed above ground.

What is a block of rock that lies above the fault?
sedimentary rocks lie above the ground

Igneous rocks are types of rocks that are formed by fire. They can be formed in the ground from magma that gets trapped in air pockets. Above ground they can form when lava cools along the ground.
Where do sedimentary rocks come from above ground or underground?
Sedimentary rocks come from above ground , because sedimentary rocks form when sediment piles up and sediment is made up of loose particles of clay, silt and sand
What are the features of intrusive igneouse rocks?
intrusive rocks have a finer texture and extrusive such as lava rock are more course. intrusive rocks are cooled within the earth and extrusive cooled outside the earth.
What igneous rocks cool above ground?
Etrusive igneous rocks such as pumice, basalt, andesite and rhyolite.
When molten rock undergoes crystallization above ground what type of rocks result?
Extrusive igneous rock is the result of above ground crystallization.
