the giant's causeway is a bundle of rocks in Ireland formed by erupting volcanoes The Giant's causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt pillars. It is located off the North East coast of Ireland. The Giant's Causeway was named the 4th wonder in the United Kingdom. The formation was the result of a volcanic eruption. Each Pillar is of a hexagonal shape, and the form steps all up and down along the land mass. It really is a puzzling sight.

What else can I help you with?
The giant causeway is an unusual formation of rock columns along thenorth coast of northern Ireland this wonder gets its name from an old legend what type of igneousnrock is found in this formation?
The Giant's Causeway is made up of some 40,000 large black basalt columns which protrude from the sea. It formed when molten rock was forced up through fissures in the earth to form a lava plateau.

What are the Importance of rock?
Type your answer here... it is the begining of the formation of rocks
Is it true the rate of soil formation is unaffected by the type of rock being weathered?
No
Which type of rock is formed from tiny particles of sand shells pebbles?
No, in order to be a metamorphic rock, it has to be a rock that undergoes extreme heat and pressure. What you're describing is the formation of a sedimentary rock called a limestone.
What type of rock is the giants causeway composed of?
Balast rock
What type of rock is the Giant's Causeway composed of?
The Giants Causeway Is Made Up Of Many Basalt Columns. The Giants Causeway Has About 40,000 Basalt Columns This Also Includes The Ones Under The Sea. Basalt Is One Type Of Igneous Rock. Basalt Is A Very Common Volcanic Rock. It Is Usually Grey Or Black And Fine Grained, This Is Due To The Rapid Cooling Of Lava On The Earth's Surface.

What type of igneous rock is found in the Giant's Causeway of Ireland?
The Giant's Causeway is primarily composed of basalt, a type of fine-grained igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of lava. The distinctive hexagonal columns at the Giant's Causeway were created by the slow cooling of lava flows, resulting in columnar jointing.

What happens to the ocean crust as is spreads from the mid-ocean ridge?
As the volcanic material moves away from the Mid Ocean Ridge, it cools (which makes it denser); it forms the large 'Giants Causeway" type of polygon rock forms; once it has passed through the Curie point, it preserves a record of the magnetic field as is was when the rock cools.
What are roche mountains?
A roche moutonnee is a rock formation that is created from the process of passing glaciers. This type of rock formation is usually found in in the Cairngorm.

No
Heat and pressure are involved in the formation of a rock and during the process the rock does not become liquid. so this probably what type of rock?
This fits the description of a metamorphic rock.
