How does magma change the earth surface?
When magma erupts on to the earth's surface it hardens and forms new land.It depends on if your talking about magma or lava, lava is on the surface of the Earth and magma is inside (underground).
What is it called when magma hardens in a volcanoes pipe?
a volcanic neck forms when magma hardens in a volcano's pipe and is later exposed.
Which igneous rock forms when basaltic magma hardens?
Intrusive rock
Is the earth mantle a layer of hot rock?
Not exactly--the mantle is comprised of semisolid rock, or magma.
What is the only kind of rock that can form directly from magma?
By definition. A sedimentary rock is formed from sediments, chemical, organic, or clastic. A metamorphic rock has undergone a change in mineral alignment or mineral composition due to heat and/or pressure. An igneous rock forms from solidification of magma via cooling.
When magma squeezes between horizontal lines it forms?
if it squeezes into a fault, its a dike, if it squeezes between horizontal layers, its a sill
When magma squeezes between layers of rock forms what?
A sill is formed.
What is a slab of rock when magma squeezes between layers of rock?
sill
What is magma that squeezes into vertical cracks between rocks and then hardens is called?
The magma that squeezes into vertical cracks between rocks and then hardens is called a dike. Dikes are tabular bodies of igneous rock that cut across the existing rock layers.
What is magma that squeezes into a vertical crack and then hardens?
It is called a dike.
Which layer of the earth does the magma form?
Magma forms in the mantle layer of the Earth. It is a molten rock material that originates from the partial melting of rocks in the upper mantle. Magma can rise to the Earth's surface through volcanic eruptions.
What landform is created when magma squeezes between rock layers to forma hardened slab of rock?
If vertical, a dyke; if horizontal, a sill.
What layer of the earth does most magma originate?
Most magma originates in the asthenosphere, which is a semi-fluid layer located in the upper mantle. Magma forms here due to the high temperatures and pressures that facilitate the melting of rock.
What is a slab of volcanic rock formed when magma squeezes between layers of rock?
A sill is a slab of volcanic rock formed when magma squeezes between layers of rock. It is typically horizontal and parallel to the surrounding rock layers. Sills are distinguishable from dikes, which cut across the rock layers.
In the rock cycle some rock melts and forms magma in the layer of Earth known as?
Magma could be found occurring in the lithosphere or the asthenosphere, usually originating in the asthenosphere.
What is Magma hardened in a horizontal crack?
Magma that hardens in a horizontal crack typically forms a thin, sheet-like intrusion called a sill. Sills are created when magma is injected parallel to the existing rock layers. As the magma cools and solidifies, it forms a horizontal layer of igneous rock within the crack.
What layer of the Earth storage place for magma?
Magma is stored in the mantle layer of the Earth, which is located between the crust and the outer core. Magma is formed in the mantle due to the high temperatures and pressures present in this layer. When magma rises towards the Earth's surface, it can lead to volcanic eruptions.
