When magma cools above the earth's surface it forms?
metamorphic rock
What is the name of a magma cooled on the surface?
When magma cools on the surface it forms igneous rock.
What is the difference between igneous rock that cools above and igneous rock that cools below ground?
That depends on where it cools. Igneous rock forms from magma or lava (there's a difference!) cools and hardens. Extrusive igneous rock forms above the earth's crust, like when the lava from a volcanic eruption hardens. Intrusive igneous rock cools inside the earth when conditions change and the area around the magma cools allowing the magma to cool.
What rock is formed when magama cools at the earth's surface?
Igneous rock, such as basalt or rhyolite, is formed when magma cools at the Earth's surface.
This type of rock forms from molten rock that cools and solidifies?
Igneous rock forms from molten rock that cools and solidifies, either above or below the Earth's surface. This process can result in the formation of rocks such as basalt, granite, and obsidian.
Is pumice a rock that cooled slowly inside Earth's crust?
No. Pumice cools very rapidly above the surface. It is a glassy rock. Glass forms when lava cools too quickly for crystals to form.
When melted rock cools or hardens in or under earth surface it forms to what?
When melted rock cools and hardens in or under the Earth's surface, it forms igneous rock. This process can happen above ground, forming volcanic rocks, or below ground, forming intrusive rocks.
Lava cools down and accumulates into rock as it reaches Earth's surface?
Lava cools down and accumulates into rock as it reaches Earth's surface
What type rock forms when magma cools and hardens?
Igneous rock forms when magma cools and hardens. This type of rock can be classified as intrusive (plutonic) if it cools below the Earth's surface (slow cooling) or extrusive (volcanic) if it cools quickly on the Earth's surface. Examples of igneous rocks include granite, basalt, and obsidian.
Rock formed when magma cools on the earths surface?
ignious rock
When melted rock cools or hardens on or under earth's surface it forms what rock?
Igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rock forms at or near the surface, intrusive igneous rock forms below the surface.
Which two types of rock can form on the Earth's surface?
Some types of igneous and sedimentary rocks can form on Earth's surface.
