What else can I help you with?
What is the term for rock formed from magma or lava?
Intrusive igneous rocks are thusly formed.
Rocks formed from the cooling lava of volcanic eruptions are?
igneous
What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten material within the earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?
Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.
Rocks formed from molten earth materials are?
Igneous rocks are formed from molten earth materials such as magma or lava. These rocks can be further classified into intrusive (formed below the Earth's surface) and extrusive (formed on the Earth's surface) based on their origin. Examples of igneous rocks include granite, basalt, and obsidian.
Where can igneous rocks find?
Igneous rocks are rocks formed by magma. so the best place to find igneous rocks would be by volcanoes or where a volcano once erupted.
Where would igneous rocks be at?
Igneous Rocks - Rocks formed by crystallization from a melt (magma)
Igneous rocks formed from lava on Earth's surface?
Extrusive igneous rocks.
Rocks formed from the cooling lava of volcanic eruptions are?
igneous
Igneous rocks form by what?
Igneous rocks are formed as the result of cooling magmas.
What is the term for rock formed from magma or lava?
Intrusive igneous rocks are thusly formed.
Are igneous rocks formed by pressing layers of rocks together?
No. Igneous rock is formed from cooling lava or magma.
What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten material within the earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?
Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.
Are rocks formed from molten rocks are igneous rocks?
That is correct.
Is igneous rocks formed by weathering of preexisting rocks?
No.
What is the order of how igneous rocks are formed?
Igneous rock is formed when lava or magma cools.
What is formed from magma?
igneous rocks
How can texture can provide clues as how and where a rock formed?
A rock's texture will most definitely yield clues as to how a rock formed and often to where it formed. Coarse grained igneous rocks formed below the surface from magma. Fine grained igneous rocks formed at or near the surface from lava. Large crystals scattered among fine grained rock indicates an igneous rock that may have partly formed underground, and finished forming above ground. Layers can indicate rocks that are sedimentary and the grain size can indicate the source of the sediments. Banded and foliated rocks indicate high pressure formation and metamorphosis, and the coarse recrystallization of quartz in quartzite indicates a high temperature metamorphosis. These are just a few examples. For information on different rock textures, click on the link below.
