Does granite form from magma?
Yes, granite is formed from cooling magma.
What are two igneous rocks formed from slow cooling magma?
Granite and Gabbro.
What group of rocks does granite belong to?
Granite is classified as an intrusive igneous rock.
Granite is what type of rock?
Granite is an intrusive felsic igneous rock, having formed under the surface by the slow cooling of magma which had intruded into the crust.
Is granite formed underground?
Yes. Granite is formed underground from solidifying felsic magma.
Does granite form from magma?
Yes, granite is formed from cooling magma.
Does granite form magma?
Yes, granite is formed from cooling magma.
Is basalt formed from slow or rapidly cooling magma?
Basalt is formed from relatively rapid cooling magma.
Is granite formed from lava cooling or magma cooling?
Not from the magma, no. Cooled and solidified magma is classified as igneous. However, metamorphic rocks can be formed as the heat and hot fluids of intruding magma affect the properties and possibly the chemistry of the existing "country rock" into which it comes in contact. This process is called contact metamorphism.
How are granite rocks made?
Granite is formed by the cooling and consolidation of felsic magma below the surface of the Earth.
What are two igneous rocks formed from slow cooling magma?
Granite and Gabbro.
Formed from slow cooling magma speckled with large minerals grains?
Granite
True or false granite is a metamorphic rock?
It is false. Granite is a igneous rock that was formed from magma cooling and hardening.
Is granite formed from organisms?
No. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, formed from the cooling, solidification, and crystalization of magma below the earth's crust/surface.
Which process formed the granite that is mined in many areas of the US?
The cooling and solidification of magma.
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.
What group of rocks does granite belong to?
Granite is classified as an intrusive igneous rock.
