What below the Earths's surface cools and hardens to form mineral crystals?
Molten magma cools and hardens to form mineral crystals.
When large masses of magma solidify far below earths surface they form igneous rocks that have a what?
Coalesced magma bodies are referred to as plutonic rocks, they have a porphyritic texture or larger crystals since elements are allotted more time to segregate to their desired energy environments and precipitate minerals.
Why are there are almost no extrusive ultra basic rocks in earths crust?
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.

How do fossils provide evidence for moving plates?
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.

What determines crystal size in an igneous rock?
It depends on the cooling of lava. Slow cooling forms big crystals deep under the surface while fast cooling creates small crystals on or just below the earths surface. Itstant cooling wouls have no crystals.
How does a metamorphic rock turn into a igneous rock?
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.
