What kind of rock will from when a volcano erupts?
Volcanoes produce extrusive igneous rock.
What do volcanoes produce?
Volcanoes produce many different types of rocks but the 3 main sections that you put the rocks into is either metermorphic rocks, igneous rocks or the sedimentry rocks. Example: Pumice and obsidian = igneous rocks Limestone= sedimentary rock Phyllite= metamorphic rock An igneous rock is one that comes out of a volcano steaming hot then when it meets coldness like the wind it cools instantly giving it no time to grow but the sedimentary is made over time like it starts at the top of a mountain and as it falls it picks up dirt and eventually for example if there was a river at the bottom of that hill it would sink to the bottom and casually over time it will build up like grime or dust so if there was a very swift river there would be alot of sedimentary at the bottom of that river there would be alot of sedimentary rocks. Now the metamorphic rock is a rock that once was a igneous rock or sedimentary rock that has moulded into another rock and changed shape like morphed. Thank you for reading and i hope that information was useful to you. solids, liquids, and gasses
Why there were only igneous rocks when the earth was first formed?
Sedimentary rocks are the result of weathering, and erosion of other rocks within the rock cycle and from the death and deposition of organic material. As the earth did not have an atmosphere as it first began to form, it had no rivers, no weather and no life. Therefore all of the processes required to produce sedimentary rock were absent. Metamorphic rocks are the result of igneous or sedimentary rocks undergoing heat and pressure which falls short of complete melting. Therefore igneous rocks would have been required to start the process, as minerals were superheated at great pressure within the molten material that comprised the early earth.
Igneous rock is formed?
Extrusive igneous rock is formed by the eruption of volcanoes that produce lava which later cools. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and solidification of magma within the Earth's crust.
What forces change sedimentary into metamorphic rock?
All of them, as long as they are in the right conditions.
What kind of rocks can produce metamorphic rocks?
All sedimentary and igneous rocks
What 2 things are required to produce metamorphic rock?
Heat and pressure are required to produce metamorphic rock from sedimentary or igneous rock.
What rocks are used to produce mobile phones?
Either igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary. I know this is just stating the obvious but you can google it remembering to use key words.
What kind of rock do volcanoes produce?
igneous
What kind of volcano has igneous rocks?
All volcanoes produce igneous rocks.
Which location would most likely produce sedimentary rocks a dried-up lake bed of the side of a volcano?
A dried-up lake bed will more likely produce sedimentary rocks than the side of a volcano. Igneous rocks are formed in places near volcanoes.
Does Washington have igneous rock in it?
Yes. There are several active volcanoes in Washington to produce igneous rock.
Is the moon made of the same three kinds of rock as the earth?
No. Since the moon is not geologically active it cannot produce metamorphic rock and since it has no forces of erosion and deposition it cannot produce sedimentary rock. As a result, all the rocks on the moon are igneous
Is granite a sedimentary rock metamorphic or a igneous rock?
In general terms granite is an igneous rock. But, there has been a famous debate over the years because extreme metamorphosis of crustal sediments can produce melts of rocks that are also granite. However, the best examples of granites such as those to be found in Dartmoor (UK) are clearly igneous intrusions. So to simplify that: Igneous. It's an igneous rock.
What kind of rock will from when a volcano erupts?
Volcanoes produce extrusive igneous rock.
How are the 3 major groups of rocks different?
The three main groups, igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary are all part of the rock cycle. They are different in the way they formed and in their properties. Igneous rocks are formed when magma/lava cools and solidifies; metamorphic rocks are formed when a buried existing rock is heated up by the Earth's natural heat and is altered in its structure; and sedimentary rocks are formed when existing igneous or metamorphic rocks are weathered and eroded, and the resulting rock fragments are compacted together to produce a new rock. Each of these 3 types of rock can become any of the other types; ie an igneous rock can be subjected to further heating, which alters its structure, and turn into a metamorphic rock; or a sedimentary rock could be drawn back down into the Earth's molten mantle via a subduction zone, undego melting, and then later rise back to the surface and solidify to become an igneous rock.
What changes igneous or sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock?
Heat, pressure, or transfer of elements through high temperature solutions.
