1:A decrease in presume can lower the melting temperatures of materials in the asthenosphere. Such a decrease takes place along the not valley at a mid-ocean height, where the lithosphere is thinner and exerts less pressure

2: An increase in temperature can cause materials in the asthenosphere to melt. Such as increase occurs at a hot-spot.

3: I do not know.

Describe two igneous structures that form under earths surface?

Igneous rocks are formed from the molten liquid minerals that lie below the earth's crust. Intrusive igneous rocks forms in magma chambers that are deep underground it is molten by heat and pressure. Extrusive igneous rocks forms when magma makes its way to Earth's surface when the molten rock erupts.Jennifer


How does magma affect the rocks into which in intrudes?

Magma is molten rock that bubbles up along ocean ridges to form new crust. Another way that magma forms new crust is when it is expelled out of a volcano and becomes lava, which cools and hardens into crust.

What different rocks are there?

There are 3 main types of rocks:Igneous RocksForms when molten rock cools.2 types of molten rock: magma, and lava.Intrusion: Forms when magma cools. Intrusion rocks take longer to form because magma takes longer to cool. Magma is under the Earth's surface, and it is very hot there. Imagine how long it would take for magma to cool down somewhere a thousand degrees!Extrusion: Forms when lava cools. Extrusion don't take as long to form, because lava cools much faster than magma does. Lava is at the surface, and the surface is WAY cooler than underground.Sedimentary RockForms when rocks/minerals/remains of plants or animals settle and accumulate.Forms in layers.3 types of sedimentary rock:Clastic - forms from accumulation of rock fragments and minerals.Biologic - forms from plant or animal remains.Chemical - forms when minerals precipitate out of a solution.MetamorphicPreexisting rocks that have changed form by heat and pressure.If you are looking for specific types, here are some brief examples:Igneous RocksBasaltPegmatiteGraniteTuffSedimentary RocksLimestoneCoalShaleSiltstoneMetamorphic RocksSlateGneissSchistMarble


Rock formed by magma?

Rock formed by magma is known as igneous rock. When magma cools and solidifies either below or above the Earth's surface, it forms igneous rock. Examples of igneous rocks include granite, basalt, and obsidian.

How are minerals in magma could travel through the cycle and eventually end up in each of the three main classifications of rocks?

Well there are minerals every where so then the minerals could end up in the magma and then go threw the rock cycle.
