How the three types of rocks formed?
Igneous: These rocks are volcanic in nature. They are split into two categories in where they cool/crystallize: intrusive (internal) and extrusive (external). Intrusive volcanic rocks cool slowly, so they contain (usually) large crystals, like granites. Extrusive rocks are quite the opposite, in which they cool very quickly. This is where you get your obsidian glass and basalts. Sedimentary: These rocks are depositional and categorized by the kind of sediment it is made up of. Metamorphic: This can be the offspring rock of either a morphosed igneous or sedimentary rock. This metamorphism is accomplished by heat and/or pressure, and during a great length of time.

What kind of rocks do minerals make?
Minerals are not made of rocks. Rocks are aggregates of minerals.
Volcanic activity creates what kind of rocks?
Volcanic activity produces extrusive igneous rock.
What kind of mountain range is formed when rocks layers are squeezed and forced upward?
Volcanic Mountains Folded Mountains to be correct!
What kind of atoms is sand made up of?
Depends on the rocks which formed sand: silicon dioxide, calcium carbonate, volcanic minerals.
What kind of formations are created when lava cools and hardens?
Igneous Rocks are formed. Obsidian is a volcanic glass, go to wikepidiea and search "list of rocks" and it will come up with all the different igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks and what they are.
What kind of rocks did scientists in a submersible see when they observers the mid ocean ridge that helped them realize that new material is being formed in the ocean?
It was lava (volcanic magma) from undersea volcanic vents.

What kind of rocks are in Death Valley?

What kind of rocks are formed by in a river?
sedimentary rocks
What kind of rocks is formed in the ground?
Solid rocks
What kind of rock are mountains made of?
Mountains are made up of many different types of rocks. It also depends on the where the mountain is located and how it formed. For example, mountains formed by recent volcanic activity will be mostly composed of Igneous rock. Though most mountains and the like are made up of a combination of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rock.
