The Mississippi river carries tons of tiny rock fragments called sediments into the Gulf of Mexico. What do you think will happen to these sediments after a few million years?
Solid rocks
Igneous rocks can be found both in the ground and above ground. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, which can happen below the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rocks) or on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks).
from the ground
People can get rocks out of the ground through mining or excavation. Mining involves digging deep underground to extract rocks from ore deposits, while excavation involves digging near the surface to uncover rocks. Heavy machinery and tools are typically used to break, loosen, and remove the rocks from the ground.
Yes, movement of rocks in the ground can cause the ground to shake. This movement, called seismic activity, can result in earthquakes when the rocks' movement releases accumulated stress in the Earth's crust, causing vibrations that propagate through the ground.
Extrusive igneous rocks are one type of rocks that can be formed above the ground. Sedimentary rocks can also be formed above the ground.

Igneous rocks form because, magma cools under the ground, or magma erupts, then cools on the ground forming these rocks.

Extrusive igneous rocks and some sedimentary rocks are formed above ground.
Igneous rocks
On (or in) the ground.
Sedimentary rocks such as sandstone, limestone, and shale are commonly formed above ground. These rocks are typically created through the accumulation and cementation of sediments, often in environments like rivers, deserts, or the ocean. Igneous rocks can also form above ground when magma cools and solidifies on the Earth's surface, forming rocks like basalt and rhyolite.
Rocks come out of a quarry.
