sedimentary and metamorphic

????

It's igneous rock!

Yes, if a batholith it will have an accompanying metamorphic aureole, with both exposed by erosion.

Yes, its eventual fate is weathering to a regolith that may form a new sedimentary rock in the future, but ...

If it's igneous rock it is not sedimentary or metamorphic.

It could be on the surface by extrusion (volcanic) or by erosion revealing a batholith, but either way it's igneous.

What rock forms when melted rock from inside the earth cools and hardens?

Igneous rock forms when melted rock from inside the Earth cools and hardens. This process can happen either beneath the Earth's surface, forming intrusive igneous rock, or at the surface, forming extrusive igneous rock. Examples include granite, basalt, and obsidian.


What term refers to rocks that are produced when melted rockor magma from inside Earth cools or hardens on or below Earth's surface?

Igneous rocks are produced when melted rock or magma from inside the Earth cools and hardens on or below the Earth's surface. These rocks can be categorized as intrusive or extrusive, depending on where the cooling and hardening process occurs.


When melted rock cools and hardens an intrusive igneous rock is formed?

when it cools undera lot of pressure underground it is an intrusive igneous. If it cools on the surface of the earth then it is an extrusive igneous.

What Igneous rocks have large crystals and form when melted rock cools slowly and hardens underneath earth's surface?

They are called intrusive igneous rocks.


Is melted rock that reaches Earth surface and forms extrusive igneous rock when it cools?

Yes, once-molten rock that cooled on the surface had been extruded from the earth. That is why it is classified as extrusive igneous rock.


What is the term which refers to rocks that are produced when melted rocks that are produced when melted rock from inside earth cools and hardens on or under earth's surface?

Igneous rocks are formed when melted rock (magma or lava) from inside the Earth cools and hardens on or under the Earth's surface. This process involves the solidification of molten material, leading to the formation of rocks like granite, basalt, and obsidian.


Is melted rock that reaches Earth's surface and forms extrusive igneous rock when it cools?

Yes, melted rock that reaches Earth's surface is known as lava. When lava cools and solidifies quickly on the surface, it forms extrusive igneous rock like basalt or andesite with fine-grained texture due to rapid cooling.


Melted rock that flows to the surface cools quickly forms?

Igneous rocks are formed when molten hot rock flows to the surface of the Earth and rapidly cools down. The crystals that form are rich in silicon and oxygen.
