What does igneous rocks mean?
Igneous rocks are rocks that have been formed from the cooling of flowing magma from a volcano or crack in the earth with lava beneath it. Igenous may or may not form crystals in there composition, and most of the rocks are from the mantle or the lower crust.
What kind of rock forms when hot liquid rock or magma cools?
Extrusive igneous rocks. The type of extrusive igneous rock is determined by the composition of the lava.
What does the term composition mean as it applies to igneous rock?
it can mean two things, (1)mineralogical composition or (2)Chemical composition
What is the difference between tough and tuff?
tough meas like strong and tuff means cool or slick
What state come from the Indian word for Tinted water?
The Dakota words mini and sota mean "water" and "cloudy" or "sky-tinted", so the answer is Minnesota.
During the rock cycle what forms when magma cools?
When magma cools you get intrusive igneous rock. Think of other ig words you know. Ignite, ignition they all mean heat. Igneous rocks are formed from rocks that have been heated so much they melt. When they cool they make new, igneous, rocks. If it's magma that cools that means it's still under the earth's crust so the igneous rock is intrusive. If it's lava that cools after flowing down a volcano it's an extrusive igneous rock that's formed.
What are the different classes of rocks called?
If you mean the different types, there are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. Sedimentary is formed when layers and layers of sediment are cemented together. During the process of metamorphism, no new substance is formed. The rock is compressed by heat or scolding water, and pressure. That is how metamorphic rock is formed. Lastly, igneous rock is formed when magma and/or lava cools and hardens. An example of sedimentary rock is limestone. A metamorphic, slate. A good example of igneous is granite, and everyone knows what that is.
What type of rock is formed from cooled melted rock?
If you mean from lava, Igneous.... I think that's how you spell it.
Sedimentary or igneous what do they mean?
Sedimentary rock is formed using dead sea animals' shells and are formed by thousands-millions of years of crushing together under the sea bed. Igneous rock means "born from fire" and is made in volcanoes.
What mountain ranges are made from igneous rock?
I don't know exactly what you mean. If you are asking about specific mountain ranges, some are: The Organ Mountains in Brazil Some of the Rocky Mountains in the West US If you are talking in general, the mountain ranges made of igneous rocks are the ones formed from volcanoes. For example: most of the mountains in Hawaii are made of igneous rock because the island themselves are formed by volcanoes.
What are the three types of naturally formed rock formations?
All rock formations are natural. It is not clear what you are asking.
I mean what is sin tax?
If you mean syntax, it is the arrangement of words to create well formed sentences
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!

What does vapor mean in the water cycle?
The clouds seen in the sky is formed from water vapour. It is water that has changed from a liquid into a gas (vapour).
What is an example of a magic igneous rock?
I think you mean "mafic", not "magic". Basalt and gabbro are mafic igneous rocks.
