They are not alike: magma is the semi-molton rock layer that forms the mantle. Examples of sediment are the silt (mud) that has dropped out of water to settle on the bottom of rivers or sea; and layers of slate (compressed silt), limestone (the remains of microscopic shelled creatures) and sandstone (compressed sand grains).
What else can I help you with?
What are magma and sediment and how are each formed?
Magma is formed by the heating and cooling of the Earth's crust. Sediment is formed by the soil that is moved downstream from the source of a river to the mouth of the river and the resulting delta.
Is magma emplacement a Sediment structures?
No, magma emplacement is not classified as a sediment structure. Instead, it refers to the process of molten rock (magma) moving into or through the Earth's crust, forming igneous rocks upon cooling and solidification. Sediment structures, on the other hand, are features formed by the accumulation and compaction of sediments, typically in sedimentary environments, such as ripple marks or cross-bedding. Thus, magma emplacement is a distinct geological process separate from sedimentary processes.
If Ice is to water than Rock is to?
Lava or Magma is rock in its molten state.
Is burial of sediment which makes the igneous rocks?
Burial of sediment does not make igneous rock.
Is sedimentary rock formed from cooling magma?
No, sedimentary rock is formed from the deposition and compression of sediment such as sand, silt, and clay. Cooling magma forms igneous rock when it solidifies.
What does magma and crust have alike?
it is part of a volcano

How are soft drink in a can and magma alike?
because the soda in a can is like the magma in the chamber both are pressured and when they open up it explodes. c
Does natural gas form from fast or slow cooling magma?
Neither. Natural gas is not a product of magma. It is a product of organic material trapped in sediment as it turns into rock.
How would you define magma based on the illustration in figure two how would you define sediment and sedimentary rocks?
Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. Sediment consists of rock particles, minerals, and organic material that are transported and deposited by wind, water, or ice. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of these sediment particles over time.
What geologic processes transform sandstone into quartzite quartzite into magma and magma into rhyolite?
compacting and cementaing heat and pressure melting
Is burial of sediment which makes the igneous rocks?
Burial of sediment does not make igneous rock.
Is sedimentary rock formed from cooling magma?
No, sedimentary rock is formed from the deposition and compression of sediment such as sand, silt, and clay. Cooling magma forms igneous rock when it solidifies.
How can you tell if it is an igneous rock?
It will be in a volcanic or sediment rock.
What is a volcanic dike?
A dike is an intrusive body of volcanic magma that pushes it's way between layers of rocks and sediment.
How would you define magma based on the illustration how would you define sediment and sedimantary rock?
Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. Sediment is small particles of rock or organic material that have been broken down through weathering and erosion. Sedimentary rock forms when these sediments are compressed and cemented together over time.
