What processes found at hot spots will help igneous rock form?
Igneous rocks are formed around hot spots when there is an increase in temperature, a decrease in pressure, or a change in composition. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten material within the earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?
Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.
What processes found at hot spots will form metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks at hot spots will form mostly by contact and hydrothermal metamorphism as a result of exposure to heat from magma and interaction with hot water respectively.
What type of rock forms at a hot spot?
All three rock types (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic) could be formed due to the presence of a hot spot or plume, although igneous rock would seem most obvious. Currently there is a debate occurring on the origin of so-called "hot spots". See related link below.
When ground water enters underground fractured or caverns in hot igneous rocks where it is heated to boiling temperatures what feature can form?
Caves

What type of rock is made from hot magma?
Rocks that form when hot magma solidifies are igneous rocks.

What are some geographic settings where intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks form?
Intrusive igneous rocks form beneath the Earth's surface in settings like magma chambers and batholiths. Extrusive igneous rocks form on the Earth's surface from volcanic eruptions, such as at mid-ocean ridges, subduction zones, and hot spots.

Is a Lava Rock a Igneous Rock?
Yes!! All hot rocks are igneous rocks.
How did igneous rock got it name?
Igneous rocks form from hot molten rock. The term igneous comes from the Latin word ignis meaning "fire."
Are igneous rocks hot molten rocks that are cooled and hardened?
Yes
How can igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks form?
igneous rocks form when hot molten rock cools and solidifiessedimentary rocks form when other rocks erode and the erosion products collect then are buried and fuse together or minerals are deposited by living things and are buriedmetamorphic rocks form when other rocks are buried deep and the high temperature and pressure removes volatiles and modifies crystal structures in the rock
Which rocks have a name that means''fire''?
It would be a ingeous rock.
What event found at a transform boundary will help form igneous rocks?
Metamorphic rocks form when rocks change after undergoing extreme pressure or temperature increase. These temperature changes must be hot enough to reorganize matter within the rock but not hot enough to melt it.
