What refers to rocks that are produced when melted rock or magma from inside Earths cools or hardens on or below Earths surface?
i think the answer your looking for is igneous rock.....that is the type of rock you get after megma cools.....
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.
Melted rock below earths surface?
Magma is the geological term for melted or molten rock below the earth's surface. Once the magma has reached the surface it is called lava.
What term refers to rocks that are produced when melted rockor magma from inside Earth cools or hardens on or below Earth's surface?
The term that refers to rocks produced when melted rock or magma from inside Earth cools or hardens on or below Earth's surface is "igneous rocks." Igneous rocks are formed through the solidification of molten material, either on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks) or beneath the surface (intrusive igneous rocks). Examples of igneous rocks include basalt, granite, and obsidian.
Name one mafic igneous rock formed when melted rock material cooled near the surface of the earth?
Granite
What igneous rock is melted rock that reaches earths surface and forms extrusive igneous rock when it cools?
a Obsidion rock
When melted rock cools or hardens on it under earths surface it forms rock?
Igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rock forms at or near the surface, intrusive igneous rock forms below the surface.
What type of igneous rock formed when melted rock reaches earths surface?
Lava, granite, etc
What is melted rock that reaches Earths surface and forms extrusive and igneous rock when it cools?
a Obsidion rock
What is the melted rock which flows out of the earths surface is called?
Magma, or pyroclastic flow.
The ways Which extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks are formed?
extrusive- when melted rock material coools on earths surface instursive-when the melt cools below earths surface
When melted rock cools or hardens on or under earths surface it forms what kind of rock?
It forms an igneous rock. If it is within the Earth, then it is an intrusive igneous rock (e.g. granite) and if it is erupted onto Earth's surface then it is an extrusive igneous rock (e.g. basalt).

How does metamorphic rocks turn into a igneous rocks?
If it finds its way dowm into the earths crust through rock cycle and then is melted and mixes together to form molten magma, it could re-erupt to the earths surface and form an extrusive igneous rock or cool and solidify within the earths crust as an intrusive igneous rock.

When does a metamorphic rock become igneous?
When the majority of its constituents become melted then cool and solidify.
