intraplate setting
Where do you find igneous rocks in the US?
You can find igneous rocks in various locations throughout the United States, including national parks like Yellowstone in Wyoming, the Cascade Range in the Pacific Northwest, and the Sierra Nevada in California. Additionally, areas with volcanic activity such as Hawaii and Alaska are good places to find igneous rocks.
Can a igneous rock be found in the US?
Yes. I'm not sure about continental US, but Hawaii, having been formed by volcanic activity, has plenty of igneous rock. Heard of Mount St Helens, Yellowstone? there are hundreds of sources of igneous rock in the USA. Go to the USGS site and see what they have on the subject, their publications are available for free download.
Are lahars examples of intrusive igneous activity?
No. Lahars are the result of extrusive activity.
Is there such things as igneous fossils?
Igneous fossils do not exist. Igneous is used to describe something that is formed by fire, magma, or volcanic activity.
What Rock Volcanic activity creates what?
Volcanic activity produces extrusive igneous rock.
Where can rhyolite be found?
Rhyolite can be found in various parts of the world, including areas with volcanic activity such as Yellowstone National Park in the United States, the Taupo Volcanic Zone in New Zealand, and the Rhyolite calderas in the Americas. It is also commonly found in regions with ancient volcanic history, such as the North American Cordillera and the European Alps.
Volcanic activity creates what kind of rocks?
Volcanic activity produces extrusive igneous rock.
What type of rock is formed your volcanic activity?
Volcanic activity can form igneous rocks, such as basalt or andesite. These rocks are formed from the solidification of magma or lava ejected from a volcano.
Does most igneous activity take place above ground in volcanoes?
No, most igneous activity actually takes place beneath the Earth's surface, forming intrusive igneous rocks like granite. Volcanoes represent only a small portion of the total igneous activity on Earth.
What are loccoliths?
Laccoliths are igneous intrusions that take the form of a dome-shaped bulge in the Earth's crust. They are formed when magma is injected into the crust and creates a lens-shaped body of igneous rock below the surface. Laccoliths are associated with volcanic activity and can affect the overlying rock layers, causing uplift and deformation.
What cause rock to be igneous rock?
It starts with molten material [magma], when volcanic activity starts the molten material turns into igneous rock.
