What forms in earths crust when molten material reaches the surface?
When molten material reaches the surface of the Earth, it can solidify into different forms depending on the speed of cooling. If it cools quickly, it forms extrusive igneous rocks like basalt. If it cools slowly underground, it forms intrusive igneous rocks like granite.
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.....
What is the difference between exrusive an intrsive igneous rock?
Extrusive igneous rocks are formed from lava that cools quickly on the Earth's surface, resulting in fine-grained textures. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed from magma that cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, resulting in coarse-grained textures.
What term describes an igneous rock that forms quickly on earths surface from cooling lava?
This type of igneous rock is called "extrusive igneous rock." It forms when lava cools and solidifies quickly on the Earth's surface, resulting in small mineral grains that are characteristic of rocks like basalt or rhyolite.
What are igneous rocks formed at the earths surface called?
Igneous rocks formed at the Earth's surface are called extrusive igneous rocks. They form when magma cools and solidifies quickly on the Earth's surface, resulting in fine-grained or glassy textures. Examples include basalt and rhyolite.
When volcano lava cools at the surface?
When magma cools at the surface of the Earth, it cools very quickly and hardens on the Earths crust. However, it continues flowing underneath, forming interesting textures.
Does water cool more quickly than land?
Land cools faster because land is floating on the earths surface. Water gets deeper, so the suns heat cant heat the bottom of the ocean as well as the surface
Rock formed when magma cools on the earths surface?
ignious rock
What forms in earths crust when molten material reaches the surface?
When molten material reaches the surface of the Earth, it can solidify into different forms depending on the speed of cooling. If it cools quickly, it forms extrusive igneous rocks like basalt. If it cools slowly underground, it forms intrusive igneous rocks like granite.
What is the rock that cools below the earths surface?
The rock that cools below the Earth's surface is called "intrusive igneous rock." This type of rock forms when magma cools and solidifies slowly beneath the Earth's crust, allowing for the development of larger crystals. Common examples of intrusive igneous rocks include granite and diorite. In contrast, extrusive igneous rocks form from lava that cools quickly on the Earth's surface.
What is rock that is formed when magma cools under earths surface?
Intrusive igeneus such as basalt
What is it called when magma slowly cools far beneath the earths surface?
An igneous intrusion.
What are extrusive and intrusive igneous rock?
Extrusive rocks are formed outside of earths surface. Intrusive rocks are formed inside earths surface.
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
What forms when melted rock flows to the surface and cools quickly?
Sand
What refers to rocks that are produced when melted rock or magma from inside Earths cools or hardens on or below Earths surface?

What groups of rocks can igneous rocks be formed from?
igneous rocks are formed by magma reaching earths surface and cooling quickly to form extrusive igneous rock.another igneous rock is called intrusive igneous rock. it is formed when magma cools and hardens below the surface.
