What happens to ingneous rocks when placed in a cold environment?
nothing an igneous rock is a rock like any other to test this put granite in the freezer.
Does an ingneous rock contain many small holes?
Yes, It is rough and contains many small holes. Igneous rock is formed by cooling of magma/or lava.
What are the Importance of rock?
Type your answer here... it is the begining of the formation of rocks
What is the importance of water to chemical weathering?
in chemical the minerals present in the rock dissolve in water causing chemical weathering
What happens when molten igneous rock reaches the ocean?
When hot lava meets the cooler temperatures of the ocean, an instantaneous cooling reaction takes place within the hot lava causing the minerals to form and crystallize quickly, usually of a different chemical and molecular composition if it were allowed to cool gradually at the earth's surface. Also, the hot lava may take on saline water from the ocean, therefore altering the overall mineral composition.
Does a ingneous rock react to vinegar?
No rock reacts to vinegar.
What metamorphic rock becomes under heat and pressure?
this is called a ingneous rock
What is the fluid or semi-fluid material from which ingneous rock is formed?
lava
What process needs to take place in order for ingneous rock to become sedimentary rock?
weathering and erosion
What type of ingneous forms on the earth's surface?
Extrusive (volcanic) igneous rock.
How can ingneous rock disturb sedimentary rock layers?
Molten Rock from with in earth can force its way up through the layers above it cooling and forming igneous rock.
What happens to ingneous rocks when placed in a cold environment?
nothing an igneous rock is a rock like any other to test this put granite in the freezer.
Does an ingneous rock contain many small holes?
Yes, It is rough and contains many small holes. Igneous rock is formed by cooling of magma/or lava.
How ingneous rock can turn into sedimentary rock?
Igneous Rock turns into a Sedimentary Rock using Weathering and Erosion. Weathering breaks down the rock into small sediments. Erosion takes the rock and send the sediments into another location, where they are deposited and then consolidated to form a sedimentary rock.
What is the second step on the rock cycle?
There is no second step it can start anywhere like but here is an example MAGMA cooling INGNEOUS ROCK weathering and erosion SEDIMENTS compression and compaction SEDIMENTARY ROCK pressure and heat METAMORPHIC ROCK melting MAGMA And it can go on and on like that for millions of years
Ingneous rock that forms when lava is cooled?
Well lava is molten rock above the surface, and there are two types of igneous rocks: extrusive (cooling above the surface) or intrusive (cooling below the surface). So any extrusive igneous rock would answer your question so here is one: Andesite.
Are ingneous rocks low in silica?
it can be either low or high depending on source.
