What are the four inner planets made out off?
Rock. Their basic structure is probably similar to that of the Earth.
What is ultra basic rock?
Ultra basic rock is a type of igneous rock that has a low silica content and high levels of magnesium and iron. It typically forms from the partial melting of the Earth's mantle, and examples include basalt and gabbro. Ultra basic rocks are characterized by their dark color and fine-grained texture.
One of the eight basic rock forming minerals?
Quartz is one of the eight basic rock-forming minerals, also known as the "Rock-Forming Minerals of the Earth's Crust." It is abundant in igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, contributing to the structure and composition of many rock types. Along with quartz, other common rock-forming minerals include feldspar, mica, amphibole, pyroxene, olivine, calcite, and garnet.
What has more mass a rock in earth or a rock on the moon?
a rock in earth
What is basic Igneous Rock?
Igneous rocks are formed from the solidification of molten rock material. There are two basic types: 1) intrusive igneous rocks such as diorite, gabbro, granite and pegmatite that solidify below Earth's surface; and 2) extrusive igneous rocks such as andesite, basalt, obsidian, pumice, rhyolite and scoria that solidify on or above Earth's surface. Pictures and brief descriptions of some common igneous rock types are shown on this page.
Are basic found on the Earth's surface?

What type of rock that reaches the earth's surface is called lava?
igneous rock-molten rock inside earth
What are the two basic igneous rock categories?
The two types are intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive are formed inside the earth an example being granite. Extrusive are formed on the earth's surface after a volcanic eruption an example being basalt.
What melted rock beneath the earth is called?
Melted rock beneath the earth is called magma.
The five basic substances involved in the rock cycle?
The five basic substances involved in the rock cycle are igneous rock, sedimentary rock, metamorphic rock, magma, and sediment. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma, while sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of sediment. Metamorphic rocks are created through the alteration of existing rocks under high pressure and temperature conditions. Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while sediment consists of particles derived from the weathering and erosion of rocks. These substances interact and transform in a continuous cycle known as the rock cycle.
