What minerals combine to form igneous rock?
It doesn't necessarily matter what the minerals are, as long as they form from cooling magma or lava. Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of cooled magma (molten rock). They may form with or without crystallization, either below the surface as intrusive (plutonic) rocks or on the surface as extrusive (volcanic) rocks.
What meterial do ingneous rocks form from?
The material that igneous rocks form from are molten magma.
Describe two igneous structures that form under earths surface?
Igneous rocks are formed from the molten liquid minerals that lie below the earth's crust. Intrusive igneous rocks forms in magma chambers that are deep underground it is molten by heat and pressure. Extrusive igneous rocks forms when magma makes its way to Earth's surface when the molten rock erupts.Jennifer
Why do rocks melt in the upper mantle?
Because the Upper Mantle has a molten layer that has MAGMA so thats why the rocks melt.
What is the area deep underground where molten rocks collect?
Magma Collects Deep Underground in areas known as Magma Chambers i hope this answers your question.
As molten rocks cool elements combine to form minerals?
crystallization from magma
How do igneous rocks form?
Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material called magma or lava.
What Rock formed by the crystallization of magma?
Extrusive igneous rock is formed from the solidification of lava.Intrusive igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma.
Where would igneous rocks be at?
Igneous Rocks - Rocks formed by crystallization from a melt (magma)
What combines minerals to form rocks?

Why does the magma have to be hot?
Magma is molten rock. Rocks have very high melting temperatures.
When molten rock undergoes crystallization above ground what type of rocks result?
Extrusive igneous rock is the result of above ground crystallization.
What are hot molten rocks from the interior of the earth called?
Magma.
