What is the difference between igneous and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma or lava. Sedimentary rock is formed from the lithification of sediments, generally.
A rock made from cooled magma or lava?
Igneous rock is formed from solidified and cooled magma or lava.
What is the difference between igneous rock that cools above and igneous rock that cools below ground?
That depends on where it cools. Igneous rock forms from magma or lava (there's a difference!) cools and hardens. Extrusive igneous rock forms above the earth's crust, like when the lava from a volcanic eruption hardens. Intrusive igneous rock cools inside the earth when conditions change and the area around the magma cools allowing the magma to cool.
Is metamorphic rock a cooled lava?
No. Cooled lava would be igneous.
A rock that forms from cooling lava is classified as an?
An extrusive igneous rock.
What is the difference between igneous and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma or lava. Sedimentary rock is formed from the lithification of sediments, generally.
What is the difference between a igneous rock and basalt?
basalt is an igneous rock. Igneous is one of the three main types of rock, (igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary) and means, "formed from fire" It includes any rock that cooled directly from a magma or lava state.
What is the difference between igneous rocks and extrusive rocks?
Extrusive is a form of igneous rock - it's what you get when the magma is extruded or squeezed out onto the surface in the form of lava.
When igneous rock forms what does magma and lava do?
When lava hardens it makes igneous rock
A rock made from cooled magma or lava?
Igneous rock is formed from solidified and cooled magma or lava.
What rock does lava form?
The igneous rock forms from lava because when a volcano erupts the lava that flows from a volcano. Igneous rocks have a hot liquid in the beginning. The lava that flows forms into an igneous rock fast. When the lava reaches the surface, it cools rapidly and turns into igneous rock.
What does igneous rock made of?
Igneous rocks are formed when lava cools. After a eruption, the lava cools, and the igneous rock is formed.
What type of fine rock is formed from lava?
eventually it cools and turns into an Igneous rock formation.
What type of rock is formed when lava flowing from a volcano cools and hardens?
Extrusive igneous rock is formed from cooling lava.
Is lava a sedimentary rock or igneous?
The common usage of "lava rock" in the USA refers to a black rock with a number of visible bubbles or air pockets that is formed from cooled lava on the surface. Although lava rock is an igneous rock, it is not the same as the definition for the word igneous, which can also include igneous rocks which have solidified from magma below the surface.
How does lava become an igneous rock?
lava becomes igneous rock by cooling down and hardening -ctd
What type of igneous rock that is made from lava?
Cooling lava produces extrusive igneous rock, such as basalt.
