What does extrusive igneous rock form from?
An extrusive igneous rock is when a volcano erupts and magma flows down, then cools, forming rocks.
What type of rock is likely to form next when extrusive igneous rock is broken down by wheathering?
its a cambrela rock
What rock is formed when lava cools down?
igneous rock is formed when lava cools down
During the rock cycle what forms when magma cools?
When magma cools you get intrusive igneous rock. Think of other ig words you know. Ignite, ignition they all mean heat. Igneous rocks are formed from rocks that have been heated so much they melt. When they cool they make new, igneous, rocks. If it's magma that cools that means it's still under the earth's crust so the igneous rock is intrusive. If it's lava that cools after flowing down a volcano it's an extrusive igneous rock that's formed.
What type of rock is formed when the lava cools down?
cooled lava when it melts is turned to rock if you take a malet and pound it you can see the old lave ozz out into a gush so its like that to store regular lava so its fresh like a fruit you store it in the fridge and when ou open the fridge the fruit is fresh

What type of rocks form when lava cools after a volcanic eruption?
Igneous Rock is formed when a volcano erupts and the the lava cools down to harden. Pumice Stone Extrusive Rocks Glass Rocks Hope this Helps :)
What is hypabyssal?
A hypabyssal igneous rock is formed in between the depth of intrusive (also called plutonic) rocks and extrusive (volcanic) rocks. They are formed when magma or lava cools down and solidifies.

What has to happen for an igneous rock to change into a metamorphic rock?
The igneous rock can either: - Be formed as an intrusive igneous rock underground, and then get subducted (driven down) to a depth where the crystals are modified due to the heat or - form as an extrusive igneous rock above ground, get weathered and transported into the sea and included in the compaction of sediments, and then subducted and altered.
What describes rock that was formed when molten rock cooled down?
Igneous rock is formed.
What is the diffidence between an igneous rock and sedimentary rock?
An igneous rock is formed when molten rock solidifies. A sedimentary rock is formed when per-existing rocks are broken down by chemical and mechanical weathering and the debris is deposited and squashed together to solidify.
