Is granite a stone?
Yes. Granite is an igneous rock. It is formed when magma cools slowly below the surface of the earth.
What because granite cools below the surface of the Earth it is?
An igneous intrusive rock
Does granite form at the earth's surface?
No. Granite forms below the surface.
How are granite rocks made?
Granite is formed by the cooling and consolidation of felsic magma below the surface of the Earth.
What term refers to rocks that are produced when melted rockor magma from inside Earth cools or hardens on or below Earth's surface?
The term that refers to rocks produced when melted rock or magma from inside Earth cools or hardens on or below Earth's surface is "igneous rocks." Igneous rocks are formed through the solidification of molten material, either on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks) or beneath the surface (intrusive igneous rocks). Examples of igneous rocks include basalt, granite, and obsidian.
What are found below the earth surface?
iron granite coal moten rock
When magma cools slowly below Earth's surface it forms rocks with what type of crystals?
Slow cooling magma below the Earth's surface forms large crystals.
What type of heat transfer called when molten rock below the Earth's surface rises then cools and sinks below the surface again?
Convection.
Where does magma cool?
Extruded magma (lava) can cool on the surface, or under water. Magma also cools underground, forming intrusive igneous rocks such as granite.
What kind of rock forms from magma that cools below the earth's surface?
Intrusive Igneous Rock.
Is granite formed from organisms?
No. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, formed from the cooling, solidification, and crystalization of magma below the earth's crust/surface.
Where does igneous rock formed?
Igneous rock forms above, on, and below the surface of the Earth from the cooling and solidification of magma and lava.
