What else can I help you with?
What does the earths crust have?
it is composed of igneous sedimentry and metamorphic
What does the Earths crust mostly consist of?
Igneous rock.
Which is called a large mass of igneous rock in earths crust that if exposed at the surface covers an area of at least 100km?
a batholith
Igneous rocks are formed when magma does what?
The Igneous rock formed when magma cools are; 1. Extrusive (Volcanic) Igneous Rock; which are igneous rocks formed when magma cools outside the earths crust. The texture of of extrusive igneous rock is fine grained. 2. Intrusive (Plutonic) Igneous Rock; these are igneous rocks formed by gradual cooling of magma within the earths crust. The texture is coarse grained.
How does metamorphic rocks turn into a igneous rocks?
If it finds its way dowm into the earths crust through rock cycle and then is melted and mixes together to form molten magma, it could re-erupt to the earths surface and form an extrusive igneous rock or cool and solidify within the earths crust as an intrusive igneous rock.

Where do fine grained igneous rock form?
Well that will be intrusive igneous rocks, extrusive forms inside the earths crust
What is molten rock when it is in and outside of the Earth's crust?
Igneous Rock
Is most of the earths crust made up of a mix of metamorphic and igneous rock?
This is true!
What type of igneous rock that solidifies outside the crust?
extrusive igneous rocks, inside the earth is intrusive igneous rocks
What is magma that hardens within the earths crust called?
Magma that hardens within the Earth's crust is called intrusive igneous rock. This type of rock forms when magma cools and solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, resulting in the formation of intrusive features like batholiths, dikes, and sills.
Is the earths crust made of sediment?
Partially. However, a significant portion of it is also composed of igneous intrusions and metamorphosed sedimentary and igneous rocks.
