Lava and what can cool to become igneous rocks?
magma
How do igneous rock become metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks become igneous rocks by melting from heat and pressure, remnants of which may cool from melt (magma) and become components of igneous rock.
What does magma have to do with igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks are formed by cooling magma.
What is the difference of igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks?
lava and/or magma cools and forms igneous rocks. igneous rocks go through weather and erosion which forms sediments. these sediments are collected and compacted. this causes sedimentary rocks. the sedimentary rocks go through weather and erosion as well as being exposed to heat and pressure. this causes metamorphic rocks. metamorphic rocks go through heat and pressure and then they melt and become lava or magma again. this is called the rock cycle.
What type of rock can become magma?
Cooled and solidified magma that rests below the surface becomes intrusive igneous rock. When magma is erupted onto the surface, then cools and solidifies, it becomes extrusive igneous rock. The major rock classification for cooled magma or lava would be IGNEOUS.
How is magma and igneous rocks related?
Magma is molten rock, and igneous rock is cooled magma.
Why shouldn't you look for fossils in igneous rocks?
Well, Igneous Rocks are formed from Magma and the bones of an animal or a plant wouldn't have the time to become a fossil
Where would igneous rocks be at?
Igneous Rocks - Rocks formed by crystallization from a melt (magma)
What canges a rock in to a igeneous rock?
Igneous rocks are formed when magma solidifies, or becomes solid. Rocks become magma when they undergo extreme heat.
Igneous rocks that form when magma cools on Earths's surface are called what igneous rocks?
Extrusive igneous rocks.
Rocks that form as a result of cooling magma?
Rocks formed from magma are igneous rocks. Extrusive igneous rocks form from lava at or near the surface. Intrusive rocks form from magma below the surface.
How do igneous rocks form?
Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material called magma or lava.
