How does magma change the earth surface?
When magma erupts on to the earth's surface it hardens and forms new land.It depends on if your talking about magma or lava, lava is on the surface of the Earth and magma is inside (underground).
What is it called when magma hardens in a volcanoes pipe?
a volcanic neck forms when magma hardens in a volcano's pipe and is later exposed.
Which igneous rock forms when basaltic magma hardens?
Intrusive rock
Is the earth mantle a layer of hot rock?
Not exactly--the mantle is comprised of semisolid rock, or magma.
What is the only kind of rock that can form directly from magma?
By definition. A sedimentary rock is formed from sediments, chemical, organic, or clastic. A metamorphic rock has undergone a change in mineral alignment or mineral composition due to heat and/or pressure. An igneous rock forms from solidification of magma via cooling.
When magma squeezes between horizontal lines it forms?
if it squeezes into a fault, its a dike, if it squeezes between horizontal layers, its a sill
When magma squeezes between layers of rock forms what?
A sill is formed.
What is a slab of rock when magma squeezes between layers of rock?
sill
What is magma that squeezes into vertical cracks between rocks and then hardens is called?
dike
What forms when magma forces itself across rock layers?
Magma fills the gap between plates at DIVERGENT boundaries.
What is the layer of bedrock near Earth's surface that forms a continuous shell?
I think it is Magma
What is magma that squeezes into a vertical crack and then hardens?
It is called a dike.
What landform is created when magma squeezes between rock layers to forma hardened slab of rock?
If vertical, a dyke; if horizontal, a sill.
What is a slab of volcanic rock formed when magma squeezes between layers of rock?
A sill (assuming you are talking about horizontal layers of rock)
Which layer of the earth does the magma form?
There is no layer of the Earth that is made of Magma (molten rock). There is a layer called the Mohorovicic Discontinuity (or Moho) which is the boundary between the Earth's lower crust and upper mantle. The asthenosphere is a mechanically weak ductily-deforming region of the upper mantle which lies below the Moho. The asthenosphere is thought to be the source of some magma but it is not a complete layer of molten rock.
In the rock cycle some rock melts and forms magma in the layer of Earth known as the?
Magma could be found occurring in the lithosphere or the asthenosphere, usually originating in the asthenosphere.
