What do scientists call the rock that is formed when magma cools below Earth's surface?
An intrusive igneous rock.
What else can I help you with?
What are extrusive and intrusive igneous rock?
Extrusive rocks are formed outside of earths surface. Intrusive rocks are formed inside earths surface.
What are rocks called that are formed when magma cools below the earths surface?
Plutonic rocks, generally coarse grained, interlocking texture, high density. eg. Granite
What groups of rocks can igneous rocks be formed from?
igneous rocks are formed by magma reaching earths surface and cooling quickly to form extrusive igneous rock.another igneous rock is called intrusive igneous rock. it is formed when magma cools and hardens below the surface.
How could a scientists use igneous rocks to study the materials found deep below earths surface?
Scientists can study igneous rocks to understand the composition and temperature of the Earth's mantle and crust. By analyzing the minerals and chemical composition of igneous rocks, scientists can infer the processes that occur deep below the Earth's surface, such as mantle melting, magma evolution, and volcanic eruptions. Additionally, isotopic dating of igneous rocks can provide insights into the history of the Earth's formation and the movement of tectonic plates.
What igneous rocks form above the earths surface?
Igneous rocks that form above the Earth's surface are called extrusive or volcanic rocks. Examples include basalt, andesite, and rhyolite. These rocks form when magma erupts onto the surface and cools quickly.
What would have larger crystals igneous rock that formed below earths surface or above?
below
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
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
How are rocks formed in a volcanic eruption?
They are formed when the erupted magma or lava, cool and sollidifies below or above the earths surface respectively.
What is true about plutons?
they form above earths surface (THIS ANSWER IS NOT CORRECT) They Form BELOW earths surface(:
What refers to rocks that are produced when melted rock or magma from inside Earths cools or hardens on or below Earths surface?
i think the answer your looking for is igneous rock.....that is the type of rock you get after megma cools.....
What is 5 km below the earths surface?
crust
What are extrusive and intrusive igneous rock?
Extrusive rocks are formed outside of earths surface. Intrusive rocks are formed inside earths surface.
What is the layer 100 km below the earths surface?
The mantle =)
What rock can melt at a depth of about below earths surface?
50km
Is a sedimentary rock formed below earth's surface as magma?
No. A rock formed below earth's surface as magma is an igneous rock.
What layer of the earth is 4000 miles below the earths surface?
The inner core is 4,000 miles below Earth's surface.
