How are minerals formed from magma and lava?
Minerals are formed from magma and lava through the process of crystallization. As magma or lava cools, the atoms and ions within the molten rock come together to form solid mineral crystals. The specific minerals that form depend on the composition of the magma or lava and the cooling rate.
What is formed by magma cooling?
When magma cools and solidifies underground, igneous rocks like granite and gabbro are formed. If the magma cools and solidifies on the Earth's surface, volcanic rocks like basalt and andesite are produced.
How would a rock that formed from lava cooling on the Earth's surface compare with a rock that formed from magma cooling deep in the Earth's crust?
A rock formed from lava cooling on the Earth's surface would have smaller mineral grains due to rapid cooling, making it fine-grained (such as basalt). In contrast, a rock formed from magma cooling deep in the Earth's crust would have larger mineral grains due to slower cooling, resulting in a coarse-grained texture (such as granite).
Is granite an igneous rock?
Yes, granite is an igneous rock formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
What is one way magma forms?
It is formed when hot (very hot) rocks experience a drop in surrounding pressure, or when subducted wet lithosphere is introduced into the mantle. When it "breaks out" onto the surface of the earth, we call it lava.
What rock is formed when magma and lava cool and harden?
Igneous Rock.
What happens to magma and lava when they coll and harden?
it turs to rock
Are rocks formed by lava or magma?

What type of rocks is formed by coolong magma or lava?

Which type of rock Froms after magma or lava cools and harden?
Igneous rocks.
A rock made from cooled magma or lava?
Igneous rock is formed from solidified and cooled magma or lava.
Are minerals formed from magma?
Minerals are formed from magma when the lava cools and hardens to produce a solid
What rocks are formed after lava dries out?
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
What is magma called after it has erupted?
It's called lava. Magma is formed in the magma chamber, then later when the volcano erupts, it turns to lava.
What determines the type of mineral formed by cooling magma?
The rate of cooling of the magma determines the type of mineral formed by the magma or lava..
How was a diamond formed?
lava helps harden with stone and minerals grow it
Is igneous rock formed by lava or magma?
