Below earths crust is a layer called the mantle which material will most likely be found in the mantle?
Ultramafic igneous rock.
Where do fine grained igneous rock form?
Well that will be intrusive igneous rocks, extrusive forms inside the earths crust
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.
How intrusive igneous form?
An intrusive igneous rock is formed by the gradual cooling, solidification, and crystallization of magma within the earths crust/interior.
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.
What does the Earths crust mostly consist of?
Igneous rock.
What does the earths crust have?
it is composed of igneous sedimentry and metamorphic
Below earths crust is a layer called the mantle which material will most likely be found in the mantle?
Ultramafic igneous rock.
Where is each type of igneous rock formed?
The Extrusive igneous rock is formed on the earths surface while the Intrusive igneous rock is formed within or inside the earths crust.
What is the earths crust made up of?
the earths crust consists of large amt of igneous rocks ,along with smaller amt of sedimentary and metamorphie rocks.
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.

Is most of the earths crust made up of a mix of metamorphic and igneous rock?
This is true!
What is the earths crust made of?
The crust of the Earth is made of sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rock.
What is the difference between vulcanicity and volcanicity?
Vulcanicity is a process through which gaseous, liquid and solid materials are forced out of the earths crust to the earths surface. Volcanicity is the process where igneous materials reaches the earths surface from the earths crust to the earth surface
What is magma that hardens within the earths crust called?
It's called intrusive igneous rock.
