What else can I help you with?
What igneous rock is an example of batholith?
An intrusive igneous rock.
How does a extrusive igneous rock turn into a metamorphic rock?
Extrusive igneous rocks can turn into metamorphic rocks through the process of regional metamorphism, where they are subjected to high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust. This causes the mineral composition and texture of the rock to change, resulting in the formation of a new metamorphic rock.
A rock formed when melted rock material cools and hardens is?
igneous rock
When melted rock cools or hardens on or under earth's surface it forms what rock?
Igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rock forms at or near the surface, intrusive igneous rock forms below the surface.
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms what substance?
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms magma.
What causes igneous rocks to have holes?
Holes in igneous rocks are typically formed by gas bubbles getting trapped in the molten rock as it cools and solidifies. These trapped gas bubbles then escape as the rock solidifies, leaving behind cavities or holes.
What does melting do to a igneous rock?
Melting causes an igneous rock to form into lava/magma.
How sediments can become igneous rock?
The sedimentary rock melts,which causes magma. When the magma cools it becomes an igneous rock.
What igneous rock has tiny holes that look like a sponge?
pumice
What causes a metamorphic rock to change into an igneous rock?
it falls in magma and melts to molten rock and when it pops out of the volcano and hardens its a igneous rock!
What causes to a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock that turn into an igneous rock?
Melting.
What are two ways you could identify igneous rock?
When it has holes and small rocks inside the rock
Does an ingneous rock contain many small holes?
An igneous rock can contain small holes called vesicles, which are formed by gas bubbles trapped in the rock during its cooling process. These vesicles can vary in size and density depending on the type of igneous rock and the amount of gas released during solidification.
What causes air holes in igneous rocks?
Air holes in igneous rocks are typically caused by gas bubbles trapped within the magma during the rock's formation. As the magma cools and solidifies, these gas bubbles can become trapped within the rock, creating voids or cavities. These voids are known as vesicles and can be filled in with other minerals or remain empty, forming empty holes in the rock.
Why are there holes in igneous rock?
The holes represent the bubbles of trapped and expanding gas that was present in the solidifying lava. They were essentially frozen in place.
What causes a metamporphic rock to become an igneous rock?
Its melting, then re-solidification.
What gets trapped while the magma or lava is cooling making holes in the igneous rock?
Gas bubbles get trapped in the magma or lava as it cools, forming holes in the igneous rock. These holes are often filled with minerals, such as quartz or calcite, creating geodes or nodules.
