When molten rock cools or hardens on or earth surface it forms?
Igneous
What forms when molten material from beneath Earth's surface cools and hardens?
When molten material from beneath Earth's surface cools and hardens, it forms igneous rocks. Igneous rocks can be either intrusive (formed underground) or extrusive (formed on the surface), depending on where the cooling and hardening process occurs.
Which type of rock does magma form when it hardens?
Magma forms igneous rock when it cools and hardens. Igneous rocks can be further classified as intrusive (formed below the surface) or extrusive (formed on the surface).
How does rising magma and flowing lava create volcanic islands?
When lava erupts, it cools and hardens. After long periods of this happening and cooling in layers on top of all the other cooled lava, a mountain of hardened lava rises out of the water and to the surface. This rising mountain soon will become a volcanic island.
What are the ways igneous rock can form?
intrusive igneous rock: magma cools and hardens in the earth and later forms an intrusive igneous rock. extrusive igneous rock: magma flows onto earth's surface and becomes lava. Then, lava cools and hardens above earth's surface and later forms an extrusive igneous rock.
When melted rock cools or hardens in or under earth surface it forms to what?
When melted rock cools and hardens in or under the Earth's surface, it forms igneous rock. This process can happen above ground, forming volcanic rocks, or below ground, forming intrusive rocks.
What type rock forms when magma cools and hardens?
Igneous rock forms when magma cools and hardens. This type of rock can be classified as intrusive (plutonic) if it cools below the Earth's surface (slow cooling) or extrusive (volcanic) if it cools quickly on the Earth's surface. Examples of igneous rocks include granite, basalt, and obsidian.
Does lava from a volcano go into the ground?
no, the lava cools on the surface and hardens
When molten rock cools or hardens on or earth surface it forms?
Igneous
What does magma harden into once it reaches earth's surface?
It hardens because it cools.
When volcano lava cools at the surface?
When magma cools at the surface of the Earth, it cools very quickly and hardens on the Earths crust. However, it continues flowing underneath, forming interesting textures.
Is volcanic glass a Granite?
No. Granite cools from magma deep underground. Volcanic glass cools quickly at or near the surface.
What refers to rocks that are produced when melted rock or magma from inside Earths cools or hardens on or below Earths surface?
i think the answer your looking for is igneous rock.....that is the type of rock you get after megma cools.....
When melted rock cools or hardens on or under earth's surface it forms what rock?
Igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rock forms at or near the surface, intrusive igneous rock forms below the surface.
What forms when molten material from beneath Earth's surface cools and hardens?
When molten material from beneath Earth's surface cools and hardens, it forms igneous rocks. Igneous rocks can be either intrusive (formed underground) or extrusive (formed on the surface), depending on where the cooling and hardening process occurs.
What rocks form when magma cools and hardens?
Igneous rock is what forms when magma cools and hardens.
Which type of rock occurs when magma cools and hardens beneath the surface?
Granite is one common example.
