Yes, once-molten rock that cooled on the surface had been extruded from the earth. That is why it is classified as extrusive igneous rock.

Is melted rock that reaches Earth's surface and forms extrusive igneous rock when it cools?

Yes, melted rock that reaches Earth's surface is known as lava. When lava cools and solidifies quickly on the surface, it forms extrusive igneous rock like basalt or andesite with fine-grained texture due to rapid cooling.


How do you think magma turns into extrusive igneous rocks?

When melted rock material cool's on earth's surface, it makes Extrusive Igneous Rock.


What type of igneous rock formed when melted rock reaches earths surface?

When melted rock reaches Earth's surface, it cools quickly and solidifies to form an extrusive igneous rock. This rapid cooling prevents large mineral crystals from forming, resulting in a fine-grained texture. Common examples include basalt and rhyolite.


The ways Which extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks are formed?

extrusive- when melted rock material coools on earths surface instursive-when the melt cools below earths surface


When melted rock cools or hardens on or under earth's surface it forms what rock?

Igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rock forms at or near the surface, intrusive igneous rock forms below the surface.


When melted rock cools or hardens on it under earths surface it forms rock?

Igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rock forms at or near the surface, intrusive igneous rock forms below the surface.


Which rock is formed from melted minerals?

Igneous rock is formed from melted minerals that have solidified and cooled. This process can occur either beneath the Earth's surface, forming intrusive igneous rocks, or on the surface, leading to extrusive igneous rocks.


What kind of rock is formed when melted minerals cool and harden?

Igneous rock is formed when melted minerals cool and harden. This process can happen either beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rock) or on the surface (extrusive igneous rock). Examples of igneous rocks include granite, basalt, and obsidian.


What type of rock is formed from cooled melted rock?

Igneous rock is formed from cooled melted rock. It can be further classified as intrusive (formed below the earth's surface) or extrusive (formed on the earth's surface). Examples include granite, basalt, and obsidian.
