Would it be true to say that When magma cools underground evaporation results?
No, it would not be accurate to say that evaporation results from the cooling of magma underground. When magma cools, it solidifies into igneous rock rather than evaporating. Evaporation typically occurs when liquids turn into gases at higher temperatures, which is not the case for cooling magma. Instead, the process involves crystallization as minerals form from the cooling magma.
How are crystallization and cooling magma related?
Crystallization and cooling magma are related in the sense that cooling and crystallization occurs simultaneously. As the magma cools it crystallizes, the faster the rate of cooling the quicker crystals would develop and the slower the cooling the larger the crystals in other cases when the magma cool so rapidly crystal development may not be so prominent.
How would a rock that formed from lava cooling on the Earth's surface compare with a rock that formed from magma cooling deep in the Earth's crust?
A rock formed from lava cooling on the Earth's surface would have smaller mineral grains due to rapid cooling, making it fine-grained (such as basalt). In contrast, a rock formed from magma cooling deep in the Earth's crust would have larger mineral grains due to slower cooling, resulting in a coarse-grained texture (such as granite).
How long does it take for magma to turn into rock?
The lava must cool to become a rock, and the cooling time can vary greatly because of many variables in the process. These variables include the temperature of the air around the lava and the contents of the the lava. The cooling process usually takes a very long time.
What kind of rock can magma turn into?
Magma can solidify and cool to form igneous rocks such as granite, basalt, or andesite, depending on the composition and cooling rate of the magma.
How does a metamorphic rock form into magma?
Metamorphic rock could become magma by collisions involving an oceanic plates. During subduction,any rock carried on the plate would return to the mantle and melt,forming magma
What type of rock is made from magma cooling?
If a magma of higher temperature cools down, certain minerals solidify first. Eventually, those minerals that remain liquid at the lowest temperatures solidify the latest. The rock that is then formed is Granite (if it's intrusive), or Rhyolite (if it's extrusive)
How does magma turn into igneous rock?
The definition of igneous rock states than it is formed from magma or lava through solidification via crystallization of minerals. In essence, the magma becomes frozen into rock as crystals form, much as water freezes into the mineral ice.
Fossils found in younger rocks?
The youngest rocks would be igneous, those created by cooling magma. Impossible to find a fossil there.
The cooling and hardening of magma deep underground results in what?
The cooling and hardening of magma deep underground results in igneous rock. Rare gems and diamonds can be found in igneous rock.
What is cooling of magma far beneath earth's surface?
what is it? i would say that you could die from it they are very strong when are getting reddy to spit out lava
Which would you expect to cause the greatest amount of contact metamorphism an intrusion of basaltic magma or an intrusion of rhyolitic magma?
An intrusion of basaltic magma would likely cause greater contact metamorphism compared to an intrusion of rhyolitic magma. Basaltic magma has higher temperatures and higher fluidity, allowing it to heat surrounding rocks more effectively and induce more intense metamorphic changes.
