What are magma and sediment and how are each formed?
Magma is formed by the heating and cooling of the Earth's crust. Sediment is formed by the soil that is moved downstream from the source of a river to the mouth of the river and the resulting delta.
Pipelike structures within a volcano through which magma travels?
These pipelike structures within a volcano are called magma conduits. They are formed when molten magma rises from a magma chamber towards the surface. Conduits can vary in size and shape, and they play a crucial role in allowing the movement of magma, gases, and volcanic materials during an eruption.
What structures are formed from the cooling and hardening of magma beneaths earths surface?
Plutons
How are magma and sediment alike?
They are not alike: magma is the semi-molton rock layer that forms the mantle. Examples of sediment are the silt (mud) that has dropped out of water to settle on the bottom of rivers or sea; and layers of slate (compressed silt), limestone (the remains of microscopic shelled creatures) and sandstone (compressed sand grains).
What are the pipelike structures within the volcano which magma travels called?
they are called lava tubes
Which of the following is NOT a sedimentary structure Ripple marks Magma emplacement Mud cracks or Cross beds?
Magma emplacements or Batholith are not sedimentary structures.
Is Magma emplacement a sedimentary structure?
no

What are the crystal structures in porphyritic rocks?
They're called phenocrysts, allowed to slowly cool in magma before eruption of the magma.
Does natural gas form from fast or slow cooling magma?
Neither. Natural gas is not a product of magma. It is a product of organic material trapped in sediment as it turns into rock.
What geologic processes transform sandstone into quartzite quartzite into magma and magma into rhyolite?
compacting and cementaing heat and pressure melting

How can you tell if it is an igneous rock?
It will be in a volcanic or sediment rock.

What is a volcanic dike?
A dike is an intrusive body of volcanic magma that pushes it's way between layers of rocks and sediment.
What are structures that form when magma solidifies beneath earth's surface called?
igneous, magmatic
