What is covection?
It happens in the mantle. The middle layer of the Earth. The mantle's fluid or magma rises from the Earth's core. It becomes less dense. It travels away from the core cause of the tremendous heat and pressure. Once it cools off it cones back down. When it starts to heat back up again then it rises back up. It goes in a circular motion. That's convection current.
What is a magmatic quake?
A magmatic quake is seismic activity caused by the movement of high pressure magma within the earth's crust. This tends to occur as the pressure within a magma chamber increases which leads to hydraulic fracturing of the surrounding rock mass. This fracturing causes the seismicity or magmatic quake. This sort of small scale seismic activity near a volcano may indicate that the pressure in the magma chamber that feeds the volcano is increasing and in turn may be a precursor to a volcanic eruption and is something that vulcanologists or geophysicists would be on the look out for!
What is the result of rock's poor ability to transmit heat?
cools down slowly
How is ignite rock formed?
Rock Song (Tune to Row-row your boat)Sedimentary rocks have been formed in layersoften found near water sources,fossils and decayersThen theres igneous rockhere since earth was bornmolten lava cooled and hardedmetamorphic will be formed
Why does hot water cool quicker in the first 5 minutes?
This is because of newtons law of cooling, the rate that the water cools is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the water and the temperature of the surroundings. So, as the water is hotter it cools faster, as it cools down the rate of cooling decreases.
Is lava magma when it cools down?
No. Lava is magma that has reached the surface.
How does magma make a rock?
When magma cools and solidifies underground, it forms igneous rocks through the process of crystallization. As the magma cools, minerals within it begin to crystallize and solidify, creating the interlocking crystal structure that characterizes igneous rocks. The specific composition and cooling rate of the magma dictate the type of igneous rock that is formed.
How is ignius rock formed?
it is formed either underground or above ground. it is formed underground when hot magma is trapped and cools slowly, when it has cooled down it has then become igneous rock but on top of the ground the lava cools much quicker then what it does below the ground
When magma cools down it is called?
Solidified magma underground is referred to as intrusive igneous rock.
How does magma turn to rock?
It cools down.
What happens during a volcano and how does it change the surface of the earth?
It releases magma and starts melting/burning the earth until it cools down.
Can landforms be made of magma?
Yes magma cools down and forms a harder rock.
What breaks down igneous into sediments?
magma cools and solidifies.
What happens when magma cools?
When magma cools down it forms a type of rock called igneous rock. Igneous rock can cool inside the earth or it can cool after it has come out on the earth's surface. When it is formed inside it is called intrusive but when it is on the earth's surface it is called extrusive.
Lava is magma that has reached the what in an eruption?
Lava is magma that has reached the surface of the earth in an eruption. When this cools down, it will form igneous rocks.
Extrusive igneous rocks form when hardens and cools.?
Extrusive igneous rocks form when magma erupts onto the Earth's surface and cools quickly, resulting in small mineral grains. This rapid cooling prevents the growth of larger mineral crystals. Examples of extrusive igneous rocks include basalt and rhyolite.
What happens to a particle in a hot drink when it cools down?
they slow down.
