How do igneous rocks form?
Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material called magma or lava.
What makes sedimentary rocks different from other rocks?
Igneous is basically fresh out of a volcano. There are two types: rocks that got cooled slowly, and those that were cooled really fast. After a while, these rocks will break down into sediment, and will form into layers. Then the sediment will go through cementation, where they stick together. At that point, its sedimentary rock! (Like sandstone, in the Grand Canyon!)
Is sandstone limestone and shale are all examples of igneous rock?
Sandstone, Limestone and Shale are all examples of sedimentary rock, formed by layer after layer of different types of water born sediment laid down over millions of years and compressed into rock. The different types of sediment determine which type of rock is formed, obviously sand being the main component of sandstone, mud can form shale. Igneous rock is rock formed by volcanic processes, different minerals in the molten rock will determine it's type, such as granite. Metamorphic rock is the third type of rock formed by extreme pressure and heat upon sedimentary rock, marble being formed from limestone, slate from shale.
What is a rift vally?
Formed as large slabs of rock sink and slide down into gaps in the crust
Are there any solutions to the melting glaciers on Mt Kilimanjaro?
Mt. Kilimanjaro is not indoors and the earth itself cant be cooled down. The only thing that we can do and may be solution is to stop global warming.
What word describes rocks that were formed when molten rock cooled down?
black/grey
What describe rocks that were formed when molten rock cooled down?
black/grey
What I describes rocks that were formed when molten rock cooled down?
Rocks that were formed when molten rock cooled down are called igneous rocks. This process occurs either beneath the Earth's surface, resulting in intrusive (or plutonic) igneous rocks, or on the surface after a volcanic eruption, leading to extrusive (or volcanic) igneous rocks. Common examples include granite for intrusive rocks and basalt for extrusive rocks. The texture and composition of igneous rocks can vary significantly based on the cooling rate and the mineral content of the molten rock.
Is a igneous rock hot or cold?
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Initially, they are hot as they form from molten material but eventually cool down to reach the temperature of their surrounding environment.
How has earth evolved over the last 4.5 billion years ago?
No. Not much known during the Big Bang, but the big bang was 4.5 billion years ago, and it is today. Earth was formed once the big bang cooled down, and the big bang formed petrol in the ground because everything has been molten and formed petrol and got buried by the radiation when the bang cooled down and formed Earth.
How were the dark spots on the moon formed?
i think when the moon cooled down.
Can iron be melted down into wire?
Yes, iron can be melted down into a molten state and then extruded into wire to create iron wire. The molten iron is typically poured into a mold to form a continuous wire shape before being cooled and solidified.
Which materials are formed from molten rock?
Materials formed from molten rock include igneous rocks like granite and basalt, as well as volcanic glass like obsidian. When molten rock cools and solidifies, it forms these materials through processes like crystallization.
What happens to atoms when cooled?
as the atom cools down it comes back in its orignal shape .it will be in its contracting form
Why was the earth molten at one time?
Yes, in the initial stages after it coalesced into a spherical shape, earth was essentially "molten" for quite some time. It is believed that during this molten period is when earth was struck by another heavenly body about the size of Mars, and the dislodgement of molten material caused by that impact is what formed our moon.
What is 1 down on kinds of rocks crossward puzzles?
The answer is "igneous." Igneous rocks are formed from the solidification of molten material, such as magma or lava.
How do golds from mining turn to jewelry?
Your Mom. The Gold is first melted then it is cooled down for 3 weeks after being formed into special shapes
