The age of igneous intrusion is 50 million years what is the most probable age of the rock immediately surrounding the intrusion?
60 Million Years
Why do most mineral samples not visibly show their crystal form?
because of quick cooling igneous rocks .
Explain how igneous rocks form?
Igneous rocks are one of the 3 main type of rocks, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling of lava and magma. There are over 700 kinds of igneous rocks, and most are found beneath the surface of the Earth's crust.
What property is common to most dark-colored igneous rocks?
Most dark-colored igneous rocks have a high density.

Why are there no fossils in a intrusion?
If you mean an intrusion via magma/lava, then fossils would not exist due to the fact that most fossils are found in SEDIMENTARY rock, not IGNEOUS (magma/lava rocks).
Where is an igneous rock most likely from?
igneous rocks usally form by cooled magma.
What will most massive stars form?
The most massive stars will form ultra large stars, which will collapse into black holes upon their demise.
What will most likely happen to the igneous rock?
study island cheater! : The igneous rock will be weathered and form sedimentary rock.
The most common mineral earth's crust is the?
I would assume it would be igneous due to the massive amounts of magma in the earth's crust.
Which gemstones are most likely to be formed in an igneous soil?
Gemstones do not form in soils.
The most common mineral group in Earth's crust is?
I would assume it would be igneous due to the massive amounts of magma in the earth's crust.
Can igneous rock be weathered to form sediment?
Yes. Any rock can be weathered to form sediment.
You find an igneous rock with no visible mineral crystals were did this rock most likely form?
in a cave
When lava hardens it forms new rock?
Indeed it does! Depending on how fast the lava crystalizes a different rock will be formed. Rocks that form from within the earth (like through a volcanic eruption, lava flow, magma intrusion, ect) are known as igneous rocks. Igneous rocks include granite, basalt, obsidian, andesite, among others. Basalt and obsidian are arguably the most well known rocks formed from a lava flow.
