How are igeneous rock formed?

Igneous rocks are formed by heat, pressure and cooling. They can be formed inside a volcano or outside a volcano. If they are formed outside the volcano the rocks are called extrusive igneous rocks, like basalt. If it is formed inside the volcano the rocks are called intrusive igneous rocks, like granite.


How does extrusive differ from intrusive?

Extrusive rocks form from lava cooling on the Earth's surface, leading to rapid cooling and fine-grained texture. Intrusive rocks form from magma cooling beneath the surface, resulting in slower cooling and coarse-grained texture. This difference in cooling rates gives extrusive rocks their characteristic fine-grained appearance and intrusive rocks their coarse-grained appearance.


How are rocks that form from magma and lava different?

They are different because lava is when it hits earth's atmosphere; magma turns to lava. Magma is when its inside the volcano. They are different because of the color: darker/blacker and magma rocks are way hotter. Lava rocks are colder and fragile.


What two factors determine the state of rock and metals inside the earth?

The state of rocks and metals inside the Earth is determined by temperature and pressure. As you go deeper into the Earth, both temperature and pressure increase, causing rocks and metals to exist in different states such as solid or molten.


Why do rocks have different colors?

Rocks have different colors due to the presence of various minerals and chemical compounds in their composition. The minerals present can reflect different wavelengths of light, resulting in different colors. Factors such as oxidation, weathering, and environmental conditions can also influence the color of rocks.
