What type of opening in the earth's surface allows melted rock to flow out?
A volcano or volcanic vent is an opening in the earth's surface that allows melted rock (lava) to flow out.
What is the good effects of volcanic eruption?
All of the magma burns bad bacteria that was living in the ground that it melted over.
What is a melted rock that can ooze out from below the earths surface through a crack in the crust is called a?
it is just called molten rock, and it comes out of the Earths crust via volcanoes. you can also say that its melted lava
What brought about the solidification of volcanic lava?
It simply cooled down. Lava is liquid rock, so when it is exposed it cools and sets, just like melted wax does.
What type of rock is made from weathering and erosion?
Sedimentary rock is formed when igneous rocks weather to sediments, then the sediments compact to sedimentary rock. When Igneous rocks are subjected to heat and pressure but do not melt, they become metamorphic rock. When igneous rocks are melted they make other igneous rocks.
What is the name of melted volcanic rock?
Lava.
How are a vein of rock and a inclusion similar?

Are sediments in sedimentary rocks often formed when atoms of melted minerals rearrange themselves?

A mountain formed by melted rock escaping from the earth's crust?

What type of opening in the earth's surface allows melted rock to flow out?
A volcano or volcanic vent is an opening in the earth's surface that allows melted rock (lava) to flow out.
If Lava is melted rock where is it found on a volcano?
Lava is coursed from the magma chamber to the surface via the volcanic pipe.
What type of boundaries creates volcanic mountains?
Volcanic mountain ranges are formed from oceanic-continental convergent-subduction boundaries, much like with volcanic islands. When a plate is subducted, the crust forming this plate is heated and melted creating magma which erupts from the crust and creates volcanic mountain ranges.
What event creates change of the sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock can be eroded into sediments, heated and compressed into metamorphic rock, or melted into magma and cooled into igneous rock.
What is a possible explanation for why the giant ice caps that covered a supercontinet in the paleozoic era melted?
volcanic outgassing increased the greenhouse effect
