What are igneous rocks that form on lava?
Extrusive igneous rock, like basalt and rhyolite.
How do rocks solidify from molten magma?
The same way any solid forms from a liquid - the liquid magma cools off and becomes solid. This usually happens when the magma comes to the cooler surface of the earth as lava, but it can occur very slowly inside of the earth as the magma gradually cools.
What does igneous rock form from?
Igneous rocks are called fire rocks and are formed either underground or above ground. Underground, they are formed when the melted rock, called magma, deep within the earth becomes trapped in small pockets. As these pockets of magma cool slowly underground, the magma becomes igneous rocks.Igneous rocks are also formed when volcanoes erupt, causing the magma to rise above the earth's surface. When magma appears above the earth, it is called lava. Igneous rocks are formed as the lava cools above ground.
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.
What is the difference between metamorphic rock and igneous rock and sedimentary rocks?
metamorphic is rocks that have grown outside of a volcano, like that have cooled down... igneous is rocks that have grown inside a volcano (the faster is cools the smaller, the slower it cools the bigger)... and sedimentary is rocks that have been compacted down over many years, like under all the sand under the sea :)
Rocks created when melted rock from inside the earth cools?
intrusive rock
What is the term which refers to rocks that are produced when melted rocks that are produced when melted rock from inside earth cools and hardens on or under earth's surface?
Igneous Rock
Rocks created when melted rocks from inside earth cools?
igneous intrusive
What type of rock froms when melted rock from inside Earth cools?
intrusive igneous rocks
What term refers to rocks that are produced when melted rock from inside Earth cools and hardens on or under Earths surface?
Endoplasmic
What term refers to rocks that are produced when melted rockor magma from inside Earth cools or hardens on or below Earth's surface?
The term that refers to rocks produced when melted rock or magma from inside Earth cools or hardens on or below Earth's surface is "igneous rocks." Igneous rocks are formed through the solidification of molten material, either on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks) or beneath the surface (intrusive igneous rocks). Examples of igneous rocks include basalt, granite, and obsidian.
What is the word for melted rocks inside the earth?
Magma
Rocks formed from melted material inside the earth?
Intrusive igneous rocks.
What is inside theEarth?
Well, the Earth is inside the Earth, more specifically, rocks, melted rocks, iron among other things.
What Is melted rock that reaches Earth's surface and forms extrusive igneous rocks when it cools?
lava
Does melted rock that cools quickly result in igneous rock with large mineral crystals?
No, melted rock that cools quickly result in igneous rock with large minerals because large crystals take time to form and the rocks that usually have them are the ones that were formed inside the earth.
What does high temperatures inside earth form?
melted rocks are formed when there are high temperatures inside earth.
