What type of volcanos are igneos rocks formed at?
Basically, all types of Volcanoes. Molten Rock, also called Lava, and Magma are Igneous Rock. They are the rock that comes out of an erupting Volcano.
What types of materials erupt from valcanoes?
magma and sedimentary rocks. :D as well as some of the molten rock around the volcano that break off as a result of the eruption.
What are different types of sedimentary rock?
Coal and Sandstone are two types of sedimentary rocks.
What are some igneous and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rocks are made from magma. Magma is made of melted rocks. (When it is underground it is called magma, when it erupts on the surface of the earth, it is called lava. It's the same material though.) When magma/lava cools, it forms igneous rocks. There are many types of igneous rocks and the specific type of igneous rock can vary according to which minerals are present in the melted rock, how fast it cools, and the presence of things like water. Sedimentary rocks are made out of tiny pieces of debris. This can include tiny rocks, sand, clay, silt, and organic material. (Organic materials can vary from rotted leaves to tiny, shelled ocean creatures, or many other types of organic material.) These bits of material collect in an area, then through compaction and cementation, they stick together to form sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks can also be formed when minerals are dissolved in water and are then resolidified. This type of sedimentary rock is called a chemical sedimentary rock. Oolitic limestone is a good example of this type of sedimentary rock.
What are the kinds of rocks?
All rocks are solid. Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
Which of the following is NOT one of the three types of rock igneous sedimentary metamorphic magma?
When magma is cooled and hardened, it is an igneous rock. That being said, there's only three left and those three are the three types of rocks. Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary.

Basically, all types of Volcanoes. Molten Rock, also called Lava, and Magma are Igneous Rock. They are the rock that comes out of an erupting Volcano.
Name the 3 kinds of rocks?
There are three major types of rock: igneous (formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava) sedimentary (laid down as sediments) and metamorphic (changed by heat and/or pressure)
What types of materials erupt from valcanoes?
magma and sedimentary rocks. :D as well as some of the molten rock around the volcano that break off as a result of the eruption.
What are the types of the rock?
The types of rocks are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic.
What rock families can form magma if hot enough?
All the three existing rock families/types/classes (ie, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks) can form magma, if they become hot enough to melt and change to molten form.
What are different types of sedimentary rock?
Coal and Sandstone are two types of sedimentary rocks.
What is the process that leads all types of rocks to become magma?
Rock Cycle: Igneous Rock with erosion give sediments which will compact to give Sedimentary Rock which with heat and pressure give Metamorphic Rocks which will melt with heat and pressure to give magma
What are the two types of magma?
The two main types of magma are mafic and felsic.
What are two types of sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary and igneous are types of rock (the other type is metamorphic). Sedimentary rocks are quite soft, and include chalk and limestone. Igneous rocks include granite and basalt. They are formed when magma cools.
