What rocks forms when magm cools within th earth?
If the magma cools on the surface of the crust, it is called extrusive igneous rock, such as pumice, basalt or rhyolite. If the magma cools inside the crust, it is called intrusive igneous rock, such as granite.
When magma is forced into fissures in the crust and cools under the surface of the Earth it is called?
Intrusive
When Theory that states that Earth and crust and upper mantle are broken into enormous slabs?
Plate tectonics.

Why doesn't the Earth's crust become thicker even when a new crust is formed at divegent boundaries?
At a mid-ocean ridge, as the plates are spreading apart, magma rises up in between and cools into new crust. by: Vontamayosa
What plate boundaries are where the crust forms?
new crust forms at divergint bounderies where plates move apart magma oozes up and cools down and creates new crust and the old crust moves away and sucks in the earth
Does granite form on top of the crust?
No. Granite forms underground in the crust. If granitic magma reaches the surface and cools it forms a rock called rhyolite.
What is it called when plates move apart creating new crust?
Divergence.
When Theory that states that Earth and crust and upper mantle are broken into enormous slabs?
Plate tectonics.
What does the crust record as it cools?
I records the sounds
