What else can I help you with?
What is the pocket of magma called under the earths surface?
An intrusion.
What is rock that is formed when magma cools under earths surface?
Intrusive igeneus such as basalt
What do you call the hot thick substance under the earths surface?
You're thinking of magma.
What is the material at earths surface called?
Molten rock material on Earth's surface is called lava. When under Earth's surface it's called magma
How and where are igneous rocks formed?
Igneous rocks are formed when molten magma cools and solidifies either beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive) or on the surface (extrusive). Intrusive igneous rocks are formed from magma that cools slowly underground, while extrusive igneous rocks are formed from lava that cools quickly on the surface.
What is an area where one of the huge plates under the earths surface slides under or pulls away from the edge of another plate and magma rises to the surface of the earth?
This phenomenon is known as a subduction zone. It occurs when one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, leading to the melting of the descending plate and the formation of magma. This magma can then rise to the surface as volcanic activity.
What is melted rock on the earths is called?
Lava....when its under the earths crust its called magma.
What is it called when magma cools under Earth's surface?
When magma cools under Earth's surface, it is called "intrusive igneous rock" formation. The cooling process occurs slowly, allowing large crystals to form, which is characteristic of rocks like granite. This contrasts with "extrusive igneous rock," which forms when magma erupts onto the surface and cools quickly.
What is magma and what happens when it cools down underground?
There are two known processes by which magma ceases to exist: by volcanic eruption, or by crystallization within the crust or mantle to form a pluton. In both cases the bulk of the magma eventually cools and forms igneous rocks.
What is under the earths surface and in the earths crust?
mantle
How are features formed from magma that solidified under Earths surface described?
Features formed from magma that solidified beneath the Earth's surface are described as intrusive or plutonic igneous rocks. These formations occur when magma cools slowly, allowing large crystals to develop, resulting in coarse-grained textures. Common examples include granite and diorite, which are characterized by their mineral composition and texture. Additionally, intrusive features can also include formations such as batholiths, sills, and stocks.
What is molten rock under earths crust called?
Metamorphic Rock...-A haa haaa ill follow everyone just like i do on Pretty Little Liars! answer: Magma when it comes to the surface its called lava.
