Aquifers are rock layers that are what?
Aquifer are underground areas of saturated permeable rock or sediments above layers of impermeable rock that have the ability to hold/retain ground water, preventing it from percolation and infiltration, thereby serving as a form of natural water storage .
What is formed when rocks melt underground?
sedimentery rock
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.
Is travertine metamophic rock?
Travertine is a type of metamorphic rock. It is also a sedimentary rock, which is usually found near underground water sources.
How can you tell that diorite rock is an intrusive igneous rock?
because most intrusive igneous rock are found underground and diorite is found under the earth.
What type of rock can only form deep underground?
Metamorphic
What type of rock can form deep underground?
Metamorphic
What type of rock can only form deeply underground?
Only an intrusive igneous rock forms underground, but you can argue that all metamorphism occurs underground. The issue here is that when the metamorphism is thermal, often the ground it is under has only just been formed (i.e. a lava flow). To avoid confusion, only regional metamorphism can take place underground. The rocks formed by regional metamorphism and intrusive magma cooling are rocks with crystalline texture.
Where do intrusive igneous rock form?
They form underground from the cooling and solidification of magma.
Does magma form when rock begins to melt?
Yes. Magma is underground molten rock.
What are rocks that form when magma cools underground?
A pluton is a body of rock formed from the cooling of magma under the surface.
How do veins form?
pure metals that crystallize from hot water solutions underground often form veins.Veins form when rock collides with another rock and the rock that collide pushes the other rock untill only a little bit of it is left
What type of rock can only be formed deep underground?
metamorphic
What Magma and lava can both solidify to produce?
They are both the same thing, which is melted rock, which means they solidify to form rock. The only difference between magma and lava is that magma is underground, and lava is not.
What must be true for metamorphism to occur?
the process must take place underground~ apex
What is the definition of lava?
Molten rock from underground that has risen to the surface. If it is only underground and has not went up, it is called magma.
Granite is an example It forms deep underground It needs heat to form What is it?
It is metamorphic rock
