Magma that forces its way into rocks and hardens is called a extrusion or fault or unconformity or intrusion?

Magma that forces its way into rocks and hardens is called intrusion.


Rocks are formed when magma does what?

Rocks are formed when magma cools and solidifies either beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rocks) or on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks). As the molten magma cools, it crystallizes and hardens into solid rocks like granite or basalt.


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 Intrusive igneous rocks form when hardens and cools beneath earth's surface?

The substance that cools beneath the earths surface when an intrusive igneous rock forms is Magma. Magma is a molten material made up of rocks and minerals.


True or false igneous rocks are formed into layers?

No. Igneous rocks were NOT formed in layers. I took a test and they are not formed in layers. This is what the paragraph said {The Word "igneous" means made from fire or heat. All igneous rocks have been formed by heat. Deep in the earth it is very hot. The rocks and minerals there have been changed into molten rock called "magma". This hot material sometimes rises to the earths surface through fissures or cracks caused by earthquakes, volcanoes or other deep movements of the earth's crust. Igneous rocks are formed when magma cools and hardens. Scientists divide igneous rocks into two group. They are called "extrusive" rocks and "intrusive" rocks. When magma hardens below the suface of the earth, surrounded by older rocks which it has invaded, the rock is called "intusive" igeous rock. If magma reaches the surface of the earth, however, it becomes lava, and the rock is called "extusive" igneous rock. Lava is a common igneous rock. The namelava can mean molten rock or cool hard rock. The two most common and important igneous rocks are granite and basalt. Some others are diorite, felsite, pumice and obsidian.} thank you! that was fun, and your welcome. bye!

How do weathering and abrasion link with extrusive rocks?

well it is because a volcano has magma and when the magma hardens it become funny and it laughs hahaha


What is a dike in volcano?

A dike in a volcano is a vertical or near-vertical fracture that cuts across the rock layers, through which magma can flow to the surface during an eruption. Dikes are essential conduits for magma transport in volcanic systems and can create pathways for lava to reach the surface. They are often associated with volcanic activity and can be observed in volcanic regions around the world.
