Igneous rock forms from molten rock that cools and solidifies, either above or below the Earth's surface. This process can result in the formation of rocks such as basalt, granite, and obsidian.
Magma that cools underground forms igneous rocks.* It is called "lava" when it reaches the surface, and may solidify into several forms of igneous rock, depending on the compounds found in the magma and how it cools.
Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while lava is molten rock that flows onto the surface during a volcanic eruption. When magma cools and solidifies underground, it forms intrusive igneous rocks, such as granite. When lava cools and solidifies on the surface, it forms extrusive igneous rocks, such as basalt.
Igneous rocks form when lava solidifies. These rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten materials that originate from deep within the Earth's mantle or crust. Examples include basalt, andesite, and rhyolite.
Igneous rocks form from magma as it cools and solidifies. Examples include granite, basalt, and obsidian.
When magma cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rocks such as granite, basalt, or obsidian. The specific type of rock that forms depends on variables such as the composition of the magma, cooling rate, and environment in which it solidifies.
Igneous rocks are formed when molten rock, known as magma or lava, cools and solidifies. This can happen deep beneath the Earth's surface, where it forms intrusive igneous rocks, or at the surface, where it forms extrusive igneous rocks. The rate of cooling influences the texture of the resulting rock.
When magma reaches the earth's surface, it is called lava. when it solidifies, it forms new crust, or rock.
When molten rock solidifies it forms igneous rock.
extrusive igneous rocks, inside the earth is intrusive igneous rocks
Igneous rock
Igneous rock forms from magma as it cools and solidifies either beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive) or on the surface (extrusive). Examples include granite, basalt, and obsidian.
