When rock cools it becomes more dense and trends to?
sink below the surface.
When rock cools it becomes more dense it tends to?
sink below the surface
What happens when rock cools and it becomes more dense?
When rock cools and becomes more dense, it typically undergoes a process called crystallization, where mineral crystals form as the molten rock solidifies. This increased density can result in the rock sinking deeper into the Earth's crust, contributing to geological processes such as subduction. Additionally, denser rocks often have different physical properties, which can affect erosion, weathering, and the overall landscape evolution.
When magma cools and solidifies it becomes which rock?
When magma cools and solidifies, it becomes igneous rock.
Cooler molten rock does what sink or rise?
Cooler molten rock sinks because it is denser than the hotter, less dense molten rock around it. As it cools, it becomes more rigid and eventually solidifies, creating new layers of rock over time.
When magma cools and hardens it becomes?
when magma cools slowly it becomes extrusive igneous rock
How do the rock change as you move away from an ocean ridge?
The rock becomes more dense and cooler. They get older
Is liquid magma less dense or more dense?
Liquid magma is less dense than solid rock because it is a molten mixture of rock, minerals, and gases. When magma rises to the Earth's surface and cools, it solidifies into igneous rock.
How is the igneous rock changed to sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock goes deep in the Earth and reaches magma. It then melts and becomes part of the magma. Since the newly formed magma is less dense than the surrounding rock it is lighter than the surrounding rock and it goes up and cools. It then becomes an Igneous rock.
When lava cools does it become sedimentary rock?
No. It becomes igneous rock.
When hot lava cooled and hardened it becomes?
Hot lava cools and hardens into igneous rock.
Is molten rock more dense than solid rock?
Molten rock is generally less dense than solid rock because the atoms in a molten state are more spread out and have more freedom to move. When molten rock cools and solidifies, the atoms pack together more tightly, increasing the density of the rock.
