What else can I help you with?
Rock that forms from other rock due to heat and pressure beneath earths surface?
Metamorphic rock forms when existing rock is subjected to high temperatures and pressures below the Earth's surface. This causes the mineral composition and texture of the rock to change, resulting in the formation of new types of rock such as marble, schist, or gneiss.
What replaces magma in the Earth?
The subduction and melting of oceanic crust replaces magma in the earth.
What happens to the surface of earth when lava cools?
It forms new islands
What has to happen before rock from the earth's mantle become a new piece of crust?
It has to harden
When magma solidifies far belows earth's surface they form what?
When magma reaches the earth's surface, it is called lava. when it solidifies, it forms new crust, or rock.
What will occur if molten liquid or rocks cools on earth surface?
When molten rock or lava cools on the Earth's surface, it solidifies and forms igneous rock. The texture and composition of the rock will depend on the rate at which it cools. Slow cooling often results in larger crystals, while rapid cooling forms smaller crystals or glass. Over time, these rocks can be weathered and eroded, eventually becoming part of the rock cycle.
Which geologic feature forms when central crack forms where a thin section of earth's crust breaks and molten rock seeps out?
A volcanic fissure or fissure vent forms when a central crack develops in the Earth's crust and allows molten rock to seep out onto the surface. This can result in the eruption of lava and the formation of new volcanic landforms.
How does magma change the earth surface?
When magma erupts on to the earth's surface it hardens and forms new land.It depends on if your talking about magma or lava, lava is on the surface of the Earth and magma is inside (underground).
What happens when molten lava flows on the surface of earth?
It cools and forms new land.
What energy sources causes new rock to reach the earth's surface?
Erosion from weathering owes it's power source to the sun. The weather causes rocks to be newly exposed at the surface. Heat from the Earth's interior causes molten material to rise to the surface, creating new rock.
Is a volcano a constructive foce of nature?
The volcano takes magma from the mantle of the earth and ejects it onto the crust's surface. When the lava cools it hardens into a volcanic rock or glass.
How does the diagram show that new crust forms from molten materials?
The diagram displays divergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates move apart, allowing molten material from beneath the Earth's crust to rise to the surface. As the molten material cools, it solidifies and forms new crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading.
