Why is igneous rock so resistant to weathering and erosion?
An igneous rock is resistant to weathering and erosion because is is is made from magma. And magma rocks are really tough.
What is the planet Mercury made up of?
it is made of heat resistant rock and magma. there is no atmosphere.
How do landforms form magma form and become exposed?
The magma slowly cools over time into intrusive igneous rock. Later, often because the land is uplifted, the surrounding rock is eroded. Intrusive igneous rock, however, is often quite resistant to erosion, and so remains in place.
What is the name for molten rock when its under the ground?
Molten rock under the surface is called "magma". When magma reaches the surface it is called "lava".
What is the cavity where magma is stored under a volcano called?
This is called the magma chamber.

What is most magma?
magma

This is called the magma chamber.
What name is given to molten rock underground?
Magma is a type of molten rock underground. Hope this helps. :)
How does a ridge forms?
The mid-ocean ridge is a volcanic feature caused by the spreading apart of oceanic plates as part of plate tectonics, and is initially formed as a result of changes in the convection currents which seek the least resistant point to the surface. The sea floor at the ridges are uplifted by rising magma. The rising magma is part of a process of heat transfer from the interior of the Earth to the surface known as a convection current. As the rising magma cools, it forms new crust which becomes part of the ridge.
Is cool magma sinking and warm magma convection?
When cool magma sinks and warm magma rises, yes that is convection.
Does lava turn to magma or magma turns to llava?
magma turns into lava.
