What below the Earths's surface cools and hardens to form mineral crystals?
Molten magma cools and hardens to form mineral crystals.
What names is given to the molten rock below the earths surface?
Magma. Magma rises towards the surface when it's less dense than rock around it. Otherwise, it collects in magma chambers and cools, forming igneous rock.
How and where are igneous rocks formed?
Igneous rocks are formed on and below the surface of the Earth when lava or magma cools enough to crystallize.
What of rocks form when magma cools below earths surface?
Intrusive igneous rocks
What are rocks called that are formed when magma cools below the earths surface?
Plutonic rocks, generally coarse grained, interlocking texture, high density. eg. Granite
What below the Earths's surface cools and hardens to form mineral crystals?
Molten magma cools and hardens to form mineral crystals.
What refers to rocks that are produced when melted rock or magma from inside Earths cools or hardens on or below Earths surface?
i think the answer your looking for is igneous rock.....that is the type of rock you get after megma cools.....
What cools quickly on the earth's surface?

Rock formed when magma cools on the earths surface?
ignious rock
What type of rocks form when magma cools below earths surface?
Intrusive igneous rocks.
What is liquid rock that cools on or below the surface?
Magma.
What names is given to the molten rock below the earths surface?

What is magma and what happens when it cools down underground?
There are two known processes by which magma ceases to exist: by volcanic eruption, or by crystallization within the crust or mantle to form a pluton. In both cases the bulk of the magma eventually cools and forms igneous rocks.
What is rock that is formed when magma cools under earths surface?
Intrusive igeneus such as basalt
What is it called when magma slowly cools far beneath the earths surface?
An igneous intrusion.
How and where are igneous rocks formed?
Igneous rocks are formed on and below the surface of the Earth when lava or magma cools enough to crystallize.
What of rocks form when magma cools below earths surface?
