If a portion of the magma stays undergound and cools, it will become an intrusive igneous rock, with a fairly large crystalline structure. If the remaining portion of the magma reaches the surface, it will cool quickly, with a small crystalline structure and become an extrusive igneous rock. The chemical composition of the two rocks, however, will be identical.
igneous rocks
Igneous rocks form from magma as it cools and solidifies. Examples include granite, basalt, and obsidian.
Igneous rocks form as a result of cooling magma. As the magma cools and solidifies, it forms rocks such as granite, basalt, and obsidian. The size of the mineral crystals in the rock is determined by the rate of cooling.
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms magma.
Magma cools and solidifies to form igneous rocks such as granite, basalt, and obsidian depending on the cooling rate and mineral composition.
magma cools to form igneous rock
igneous rocks
Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
magma cools to form igneous rock
Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material called magma or lava.
Igneous rocks develops when magma comes through the crust and cools.
When magma solidifies, it becomes igneous rock.
