Minerals that form below Earth's surface are unstable at the surface because they are often formed under high pressure and temperature conditions, which are different from the lower pressure and temperature conditions found at the surface. As a result, these minerals can undergo chemical reactions or physical changes when exposed to the new environmental conditions at the surface, causing them to break down or transform into more stable minerals.

What is igneous rock that forms below earths surface extrusive or intrusive?

The solid part of the Earth's surface is called the crust. It is the outermost layer of the Earth and is made up of rocks and minerals. The crust is divided into several tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid mantle below.
What originates 60 to 200 below earth's surface?
Mantle minerals such as olivine and pyroxene originate between 60 to 200 kilometers below the Earth's surface. These minerals are brought to the surface by volcanic activity through processes like magma rising from the mantle and erupting as lava.
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 forces below earth surface shape landforms?
