What is body of rock formed by molten rock inside earth called?
The molten rock that is found inside the earth is usually simply called magma. It becomes lava after it leaves the volcano at the surface of the earth.
Which came first sedimentary igneous metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rock would probably have been the first rock type formed after the initial formation of the first igneous rock. Sedimentary rock formation relies on weathering and erosion, whereas metamorphic rock can be created by heat and pressure. It's likely that rock was metamorphosed before weathering existed .
What type of fine rock is formed from lava?
eventually it cools and turns into an Igneous rock formation.
Type of rock formed from molten rock?
Igneous rock is formed when magma cools and becomes solid.
What process is involved in the formation of all igneous rock's but not the formation of metamorphic rock's?
mountain building
What part of the rock cycle occur deep in earths crust?
The formation of intrusive igneous and metamorphic rocks.

Was igneous rock the first type of rock on earth?
In that the whole earth was molten at least once in its formation (perhaps more than once) then the answer to this must be yes.

What type of fine rock is formed from lava?
eventually it cools and turns into an Igneous rock formation.
What are three methods of intrusive igneous rock formation?
There are three methods of intrusive igneous rock formation. Igneous rock can form at mid ocean ridges, subduction zones, and at the continental crust if it is pushed together.
What is the most common intrusive igneous rock formed by magma?
when magma released from deep volcanic fissures becomes trapped and cools beneath the surface of the earth, creating igneous rock formation
Type of rock formed from molten rock?

What process is involved in the formation of all igneous rock's but not the formation of metamorphic rock's?
mountain building
Which aspect of this rock formation occurred at the earliest time?
The first rock on Earth was igneous, the Grandpappy of all rock types, formed from the solidification of the magma that was early Earth.
How is the process of glass formation similar to the formation of igneous rock?
there is no answer
When igneous rocks are exposed on Earth's surface and undergo weathering they eventually become which rock?
The sediments from the weathering could become part of a sedimentary rock formation.
