Volcanoes effect rock formations a lot, since magma is molten rock, when it cools down and sets, it will turn back into rock, usually it will dry and turn black, but sometimes it can turn a dark grey. It will cover up other rocks, and make new rocks.

∙ 10y agoThe solid Earth (the mantle and crust) is made of rock. You may have noticed that there are many kinds of rocks, from the soft sandy rocks that form the cliffs at Scripps beach to the hard rocks that form the mountains to the East of San Diego. Geologists have developed a way of classifying the various rocks and understand fairly well where they come from and where they go. There are three general types of rocks, those that form from melt (igneous rocks), those that are deposited from air or water (sedimentary rocks), and those that have formed by "cooking" or otherwise altering another rock (metamorphic rocks). Sedimentary rocks form by breaking down other kinds of rocks into small particles and washing or blowing them away; metamorphic rocks form from other rocks and igneous rocks form by melting other rocks. Thus rocks are always changing form and are redistributted as part of a giant cycle of renewal. This cycle is called the Rock Cycle.

the rock cycle always starts in the magma chamber depending on the type of rock igneous, metamorphic,and sedimentary.Wiki User

What Role do they play in the rock cycle?
Cementation contributes to the breaking down of rocks
What does NOT play a role in magma formation?
Tephra Type. (:
What role does the everglades play in the water cycle?
.
What is the role of the tree in the nutrient cycle?
you need oxygen to breath so that is how the nutrient cycle is important.
What role do pressure and temperature play in magma formation?
As rising superheated mantle rock nears the surface due to tectonic forces, the compression pressure from surrounding rock decreases, causes it to melt, forming magma. It's called decompression melting. The high pressures that keep the superhot mantle rock from melting in the first place are called lithostatic pressures.
What role does energy play in the rock cycle?
The energy comes from the sun and from the heat from Earth's interior.
What Role do they play in the rock cycle?
Cementation contributes to the breaking down of rocks
What does magma composition play a major role in?
The type of rock formed when the magma cools. The type of volcano or volcanic intrusion that is formed The explosiveness of volcanic eruptions.
What is the rock cycle and what is the role of plate tectonics in the rock cycle?
The rock cycle is a series of processes on Earth's surface and in the crust and mantle that slowly change rocks from one kind to another.Plate movements start the rock cycle by helping to form magma, the source of igneous rocks. Plate movements also cause faulting, folding, and other motions of the crust that help to form sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
What does NOT play a role in magma formation?
Tephra Type. (:
What cycle does the atmosphere not play a role in?
In nitrogen cycle
What role do rivers play in the water cycle?
Rivers play an important role. Water cycle begins and ends at rivers.
What organisms play a role in the nitrogen cycle?
Producers (incorporate it into organic) and bacteria play a major role in the nitrogen cycle.
What role does the ocean play in the water cycle?
a huge role
What important role do fungi play in the environment?
They play an important role in the carbon cycle They play an important role in the carbon cycle
What role does liver play in the life cycle of red blood cell?
