Rocks subjected to intense heat when they are intruded by magma undergo a process called?
contact metamophism
Does soil have magma?
No. Magma is molten rock inside the earth. Soil can contain material from magma. Magma can solidify inside earth or erupt from volcano. The material can then weather away and become a component of soil.
What forces cause rocks to change from one type to another?
Magma subjected to cooling becomes igneous rock. Igneous rock then is subjected to weathering and erosion forming sediment which becomes compacted and cemented as sedimentary rock. Both sedimentary rock as well as Igneous rock when subjected ti heat and pressure become Metamorphic rock. This cycle goes on and on and is called the rock cycle.
When large masses of magma solidify far below earths's surface they form igneous rocks that have a?
Coarse-grained texture
When a sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock what are the affects?
sedimentary rocks undergo metamorphism under certain heat and pressure to give the metamorphic rocks. the affect of this formation on environment is negligible as this frames the part of rock cycle. further these metamorphic rocks melts to form magma. magma further cools and solidify to form igneous rocks.
How does magma become a diamond?
It doesn't. Diamond forms when graphite deep within the earth is subjected to intense heat and pressure. Magma does not create the diamonds, but it brings then to the surface, where we can find them.
Rocks subjected to intense heat when they are intruded by magma undergo a process called?
contact metamophism
What temperature does magma solidify?
The composition of the magma effects the temperature it will cool and solidify at. In general most magma solidify at about 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit.
How are igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks similar?
They both are formed by intense heat. However, metamorphic rocks are formed by intense heat and pressure, while igneous rocks are just dried lava/magma.
At which temp does magma solidify?
The composition of the magma effects the temperature it will cool and solidify at. In general most magma solidify at about 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit.
What does cooling magma solidify into?
Lava
When rocks are subjected to extreme pressure and heat without melting within earths crust they may become?
Magma
How the earth and its magma are formed?
Magma is formed as a result of very high and intense pressure beneath the surface of the earth that leads to the melting of the rock.
What Magma and lava can both solidify to produce?
They are both the same thing, which is melted rock, which means they solidify to form rock. The only difference between magma and lava is that magma is underground, and lava is not.
When does magma stop flowing?
When it becomes too cool, and then it will solidify.
What sequence of change in rock type occurs as shale is subjected to increasing heat and pressure?
shale → slate → phyllite → schist → gneiss
How does pressure affect plasticity?
When magma is put under intense pressure, it tends to get compacted together, thus making it thicker and harder to flow; like the magma produced from the ring of fire region. The magma is very deadly. Andrew- 14 years old- 8th grade earth science prodigy
