What do ingeous rocks form from?
a type of rock that forms when magma cools and hardens very slowly deep in earths crust...
How does a sedimentary rock becomes a ingeous rock?
A sedimentary rock can become an igneous rock through the process of melting and solidification. If sedimentary rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures in the Earth's crust or mantle, they can melt and form magma. This magma can then cool and solidify to form igneous rocks.
Is scoria metamorphic?
no, extrusive because it is made by lava not magma.
What is the name of a smooth glassy black ingeous rock?
Obsidian
Why are molten rocks found near volcanoes?
Molten rocks, known as magma, are found near volcanoes because they originate from deep within the Earth's mantle. The extreme heat and pressure in the Earth's interior cause rocks to melt and form magma, which can rise to the surface through volcanic activity, creating volcanoes.
What color is igneous rock?
Ingeous can be formed in the color yellow, red,ect.
What kind of rock has a name that comes from latin word that means fire?
Ingeous
What kind of rock has a name that comes from Latin word that means 'fire?
Ingeous
Why rock is heated forms magma?
The rock melts, just like most other solids do when heated. Magma is to rock as water is to ice.
What can an ingeous rock turn into during the rock cycle?
An igneous rock can transform into a sedimentary rock through processes like weathering and erosion, where it breaks down into smaller particles that accumulate and compact over time. Alternatively, it can also become a metamorphic rock if subjected to high temperature and pressure conditions, altering its mineral composition and structure without melting. Additionally, it can re-melt and become magma again, completing the cycle.
Why cant fossils be found in ingeous rock?
Its extreme heat and pressure would destroy it.
What is the change of state when magma crystallizes to form ingeous rock?
It is according to what kind of material the lava is made from. If there are different minerals in the lava, then it is according to what temperature the mineral returns to the solid state, or a rock. Some minerals have a liquid temperature, close to the liquid temperature of another minerals, and chances are they will form in the same rock. Temperature determines what the rocks will become. Like gold is found in quartz. Their liquid temperatures are close so they form together.
