What else can I help you with?
Does magma cool above ground or beneath?
No. Molten rock under the surface is called magma. Molten rock above the surface is referred to as lava.
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
How do rocks get a sandpaper texture?
The texture of a rock is determined by the rate it takes the molten to cool to form the rock.
What are molten substances that appear at the surface of earth?
Molten substances that appear at the surface of the Earth include lava, which is molten rock that flows out of volcanoes during eruptions, and magma, which is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. These molten substances can solidify into igneous rock as they cool.
What is the changing of solid rock to molten rock?
The changing of solid rock to molten rock is known as melting. This occurs when rocks are exposed to high temperatures, causing the minerals within the rock to break down and transform into liquid form. Once melted, the rock can then cool and solidify into new rock formations.
When molten rocks cool it becomes what kind of rock?
igneous rock.
Does magma cool above ground or beneath?

What type of rocks form when molten rocks cool and solidify?
Igneous Rock

Why do some partly molten material rise toward Earth's surface?
Magma is molten or partially molten rock beneath the earth's surface and is lighter than the surrounding rock so it tends to rise. As it moves upward, the magma encounters colder rock and begins to cool.
What do you get if you cool molten magma around a few gas bubbles?
Pumice, a volcanic rock that can float.
How does metamorphic rock become molten material?
metamorphic rocks become molten when over millions of years of compaction they come in contact with the magma which melts the rock and if near a volcano the volcano will remove it forming a igneous rock when cool

What rock is formed by molten material?
a molten rock
