What type igneous rock is produced at a divergent zone?
Basalt and gabbro.
Are volcanoes the same as volcanic rock?
No...Volcanoes are openings in a planet's surface which allows for the flow of magma...volcanic rocks are simply rocks that originate from a volcano (igneous rocks)
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.
Are igneous rocks produced largely by the deposition and consolidation of surface materials like sand and mud?
No. The description in the question refers to sedimentary rock. Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma.
Most metallic ores are produced by which two types of processes?
Igneous and metamorphic
How do you define igneous rock?
Rocks formed by the cooling and solidifying of molten materials.
What igneous rocks is produced by lava that solidifies at the earth's surface?
Extrusive (Volcanic) igneous rock.
Is igneous rock is produced when magma cools?
Yes. Igneous rock is the product of cooled magma or lava.
Are metamorphic rocks produced by volcanoes?
No. Igneous rocks can be produced by volcanism. Metamorphic rocks are produced by changes to existing rocks.

What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten material within the earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?
Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.
