Underwater volcanoes can be as bad as the ones on top, because they can split the earth just like it did to Pangea. What is Pangea? Well its was a large continent made up with the continents today and it was a big continents until plate tectonics. It was here from thousands, millions, and billions of years ago. I hope it answered your question and i hope it wasn't wrong!!

What cools quickly on the earth's surface?

Water bodies like lakes or rivers tend to cool quickly due to their high specific heat capacity. On land, materials like metals, rocks, or concrete can cool quickly as they conduct heat away rapidly. Clear nights with minimal cloud cover can also lead to rapid cooling of the Earth's surface.


Magma that has reached the earths surface?

When magma reaches the Earth's surface, it is called lava. Lava can flow out of a volcano during an eruption and can cool to form igneous rocks. The characteristics of the lava, such as its temperature and composition, can influence the type of volcanic eruption that occurs.


How do minerals form from magma and lava?

Minerals form from magma and lava through the process of crystallization. As the molten rock cools, atoms within the magma or lava arrange themselves into a crystalline structure to form solid mineral crystals. The specific minerals that form depend on factors such as the composition of the magma or lava and the cooling rate.


What does magma need to do for a rock to form?

Magma needs to cool and solidify to form a rock. This process can happen underground, resulting in intrusive rocks, or at the surface, leading to extrusive rocks. The rate of cooling and the mineral composition of the magma will determine the type of rock that forms.


What is the rate of cooling in reference to magma and lava?

The rate of cooling of magma and lava depends on various factors such as the environment it is in, the size of the magma/lava body, and its composition. Typically, smaller lava flows cool more quickly than larger magma chambers underground. Rapid cooling can lead to the formation of fine-grained rocks like basalt, while slower cooling can result in coarser-grained rocks like granite.

Why would lava cool more quickly then magma?

Magma is molten rock that is below ground level so it probably wouldn't be exposed to the open air.


Why would lava cool more quickly then lava?

Magma is molten rock that is below ground level so it probably wouldn't be exposed to the open air.


Does andesite cool quickly or slowly?

Lava will cool quickly compared to underground magma.


Does lava cool slowly or quickly?

Magma that cools quickly forms into igneous rock, when it cools quickly it becomes a lava rock. Lava cools very quickly at first and forms a thin crust that insulates the interior of the lava flow.


Would lava cool quicker than magma?

yes because lava is exposed to the surface while magma is below Earth's suface which would be hotter than the suface


Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?

No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.


What does Lava on the surface of the earth do quickly?

Lava on the earth's surface will cool quickly.


What rocks cool from magma or lava?

magma cools into intrusive igneous rock while lava into extrusive igneous rock


Where does magma cool?

Magma cools and solidifies either underground within the Earth's crust, forming intrusive igneous rocks like granite, or when it erupts onto the Earth's surface as lava and cools quickly, forming extrusive igneous rocks like basalt.


Do large crystals form when magma and lava cool slowly?

Yes.


What rock is formed when magma and lava cool and harden?

Igneous Rock.
