What is the Structure of rocks deep in the earth?
There are two types of rock that can form deep within the earth: metamorphic rock and intrusive igneous rock. Metamorphic rock forms from rock that is altered under extreme heat and pressure. Intrusive igneous rock forms from molten rock that cools and solidifies underground. This is opposed to extrusive igneous rock, which forms at the surface after being erupted from a volcano.
