Intrusive igneous rocks are made from magma. Magma that is extruded onto the Earth's surface is known as lava and forms extrusive igneous rocks.

What Magma and lava can both solidify to produce?

They are both the same thing, which is melted rock, which means they solidify to form rock. The only difference between magma and lava is that magma is underground, and lava is not.


What is the relationship between basalt gabbro and obsidian?

Basalt and gabbro are both igneous rocks that form from the cooling and solidification of magma. Basalt is fine-grained and forms from lava flows on the Earth's surface, while gabbro is coarse-grained and forms from magma that cools beneath the surface. Obsidian is a volcanic glass that forms when lava with a high silica content cools rapidly, without time for crystal growth, resulting in a smooth, glassy texture.


Where is basalt and gabbro formed?

Basalt is formed from volcanic lava flows that cool quickly on the Earth's surface, while gabbro is formed from the slow cooling of magma deep underground. Both rocks contain similar mineral compositions, with basalt having fine-grained crystals and gabbro having coarse-grained crystals.


Which igneous rock forms when basaltic lava and when basaltic magma hardens?

Basalt forms when basaltic lava cools and solidifies at or near the Earth's surface. When basaltic magma cools and solidifies below the surface, it can form a type of igneous rock known as gabbro. Both basalt and gabbro are composed primarily of plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene, but they differ in their formation and texture due to their cooling environments.


What is Igneous rock is made from?

They are made from cooled lava, because they come from volcano's, and the center of the earth, which has magma (lava) flowing around.no
