Plutonic rock is formed from magma in the Earth's crust. Volcanic rocks form from lava above ground.


What is an undersea volcanic formation that does not rise at least 1000 meters above the surrounding sea floor?

A seamount is an undersea volcanic formation that does not rise at least 1000 meters above the surrounding sea floor. These features are common in ocean basins and can vary widely in size and shape, often forming as isolated peaks or smaller volcanic structures on the seabed.


Do rocks with small crytals form underground or above ground?

Rocks with small crystals form above ground, because when formed under ground the magma makes the rock cool slower causing more time for the crystals to grow. Above ground the rock cools faster, because the air isn't as hot under ground than above ground.


What undersea volcanic formation that does not rise at least 1000 mater above the surrounding sea floor is called?

An undersea volcanic formation that does not rise at least 1,000 meters above the surrounding sea floor is called a "seamount." Seamounts are typically formed by volcanic activity and can vary in shape and size. They are important features of the ocean floor, often supporting diverse marine ecosystems.


How does the magma get above ground?

Magma rises to the surface through volcanic conduits and pathways called dikes, fractures, and conduits. This process is driven by buoyancy and pressure from the Earth's mantle. As magma moves upward, it can eventually erupt onto the surface as lava through volcanic vents or fissures.
