What are some limitations of geothermal energy?
you have to be in a surtain place were the magma is close to earths surface
What is molten rock that is outside of the earth?
Below the surface, the molten rock is called magma; at the earth's surface it becomes lava, nothing has changed only the name of the liquid. Igneous rock is made by fire. Small wonder the magma from which igneous rock is formed can reach temperatures close to 1200 degrees Celsius.
What limits the use geothermal energy?
there are a few places where magma come close to earths surface. Very expensive deep wells must be drilled to tap this energy.

Is a diamond an intrusive or extrusive igneous rock?
A diamond is a mineral not a rock but I guess it extrusive because it happens pretty close to the surface of a volcano.

How much surface area does the global ocean cover?
It covers about 71% of the Earth's surface.
What are the different types of rock with how they form?
Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling of magma (molten rock underneath the Earth's surface) or lava (molten rock on the surface). Extrusive igneous are formed on top of the surface, while intrusive igneous and plutonic are formed beneath. Sedimentary rocks are formed by sediments being compacted and cemented. Sediments are small materials, either inorganic (broken of bits of rocks, sand, mud etc) or organic (shells, decaying life forms). Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been physically or chemically changed by heat and/or pressure. This can be either contact or regional. Contact is when molten rocks comes close enough to a rock to change it, etc. Regional is metamorphism that occurs over a wide region usually by the force of plate tectonics.
Why does air pressure drop as you move away from the earths surface?
In simple terms... gravity ! Gravity is holding the air close to the surface of the Earth. The further away you are from the surface - the lower the gravity - and thus the lower the air pressure.
