What kind of igneous rock forms when lava cools at earths surface?
Such rock is extrusive igneous rock.
What is melted rock that reaches Earths surface and forms extrusive and igneous rock when it cools?
a Obsidion rock
When melted rock cools or hardens on it under earths surface it forms rock?
Igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rock forms at or near the surface, intrusive igneous rock forms below the surface.
What forms in earths crust when molten material reaches the surface?
When molten material reaches the surface of the Earth, it can solidify into different forms depending on the speed of cooling. If it cools quickly, it forms extrusive igneous rocks like basalt. If it cools slowly underground, it forms intrusive igneous rocks like granite.
What igneous rock is melted rock that reaches earths surface and forms extrusive igneous rock when it cools?
a Obsidion rock
What is the difference between exrusive an intrsive igneous rock?
Extrusive igneous rocks are formed from lava that cools quickly on the Earth's surface, resulting in fine-grained textures. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed from magma that cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, resulting in coarse-grained textures.
Intrusive igneous rocks form when hardens and cools beneath Earth and surface.?
The substance that cools beneath the earths surface when an intrusive igneous rock forms is Magma. Magma is a molten material made up of rocks and minerals.
When melted rock cools or hardens in or under earth surface it forms to what?
When melted rock cools and hardens in or under the Earth's surface, it forms igneous rock. This process can happen above ground, forming volcanic rocks, or below ground, forming intrusive rocks.
Is it true that igneous rocks form only beneath earths surface?
No, igneous rocks can form both beneath and above the Earth's surface. Intrusive igneous rocks form beneath the surface as magma cools and solidifies underground. Extrusive igneous rocks, on the other hand, form on the Earth's surface when lava cools and solidifies quickly.
What is magma and what happens when it cools down underground?
There are two known processes by which magma ceases to exist: by volcanic eruption, or by crystallization within the crust or mantle to form a pluton. In both cases the bulk of the magma eventually cools and forms igneous rocks.
What type of rocks form when magma cools below earths surface?
Intrusive igneous rocks.
What hardens and cools beneath earth's surface when an intrusive igneous rock forms?
The substance that cools beneath the earths surface when an intrusive igneous rock forms is Magma. Magma is a molten material made up of rocks and minerals.
