What are two types of igneous rock?
Two types of igneous rock are intrusive (also called plutonic) and extrusive. There is also porphyry rock which is partly intrusive and partly extrusive. Porphyry rock has large crystals embedded in a mass of much smaller crystals. The large crystals formed underground as does intrusive rock, and were carried in lava when it erupted. The mass of smaller crystals formed around the large crystals when the lava cooled quickly above ground, as does extrusive rock.
What rocks are volcanoes made up of?
Volcanoes are made up of various types of rocks, including igneous rocks such as basalt, andesite, and rhyolite. These rocks form from the solidification of molten magma ejected during volcanic eruptions. Additionally, volcanic rocks can also contain minerals such as olivine, quartz, and feldspar.
What is the partly fused mixture of sand and fluxes to make glass?
The partly fused mixture of sand and fluxes to make glass is called frit. Frit is made by melting and cooling the mixture into a solid glass that can be used in further glass-making processes.
What is the difference between contiental crust and oceanic crust?
Continental crust is on top of the oceanic crust Continental crust is made of granite whereas oceanic crust is made of basalt Continental crust is partly above sea level and partly below whereas oceanic crust is always below sea level.
What is the for symbol partly cloudy?
It is the same symbol as Partly Cloudy, a sun partly covered up by a cloud.
How does Basalt differ from granite?
Basalt is an extrusive, mafic igneous rock, which means that it solidifies from lava at or near the surface, and is composed partly of iron and magnesium minerals. Granite is an intrusive felsic igneous rock, meaning that it solidifies from magma below the surface, and is relatively high in minerals containing silicon and aluminum. Basalt has a higher specific gravity than granite, and is also darker than granite. Basalt may have visible air pockets, frozen in place when it solidified from lava. Granite will not exhibit this characteristic. Basalt has mineral crystals that are not visible with the naked eye. Granite has visible mineral crystals.
What forms partly as the result of surface processes?
metamorphic slate
Can you come up with a sentence with the word igneous rock in it?
The igneous rock is formed when a rock that is solidified from molten or partly molten matierial.

Is half of a circle a curved surface?
Partly.
What are the aid of major feature of the earth surface?
partly land and water

What is a hollow or depression in earths surface wholly or partly surrounded by higher land?
A basin
What is a hollow or depression in the earth's surface wholly or partly surrounded by higher land?
A basin
Why doe partly molten material rise toward earth's surface?
Less/dence material rises
What is layer is partly weathered rock?
The layer that is partly weathered rock is called the saprolite layer. This layer is between the unaltered rock below and the soil layer above. Through weathering processes, the saprolite becomes broken down and forms the basis for soil formation.
What is the partly fused mixture of sand and fluxes to make glass?
The partly fused mixture of sand and fluxes to make glass is called frit. Frit is made by melting and cooling the mixture into a solid glass that can be used in further glass-making processes.
