What else can I help you with?
What rock forms when sediment is transported and then compressed?
igneous rock
A foliated metamorphic rock forms when crystals .?
A foliated metamorphic rock forms when crystals combine and form visible bands
What rock forms by pressure on large masses of rock?
Metamorphic rock forms by the pressure on large masses of rock, causing the existing minerals in the rock to recrystallize without melting, resulting in new minerals and textures. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and schist.
What rock forms when magma erupts and cools at the earth?
igneous rock
A rock that forms cooling lava is classified as an?
An extrusive igneous rock.
Forms in metamorphic rock?
A metamorphic rock forms by heat and pressure
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.
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.
What type of rock forms in layers?
That would be sedimentary rock, and (honorable mention) occasionally metamorphic rock.
What forms as heat or pressure cause changes in an existing rock?
A "metamorphic" rock forms.
What forms beneath earths surface?
The rock that forms on earth's surface is extrusive rock or otherwise known as a metamorphic rock.
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms what substance?
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms magma.
What type of rock forms due to heating and cooling?
Sedimentary rock forms due to the accumulation and compression of sediments, while metamorphic rock forms due to the alteration of existing rock through heat and pressure. Igneous rock forms from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
What rock forms under pressure?
metamorphic rock
What rock type forms from molten rock?
Igneous Rock comes from molten rock.
What type of rock forms at the boundary of magma and rock?
Contact metamorphic rock forms at such boundaries, as the minerals in the rock change due to the increase in temperature or the influx of heated fluids.
What type of rock forms when molten rock cools and soldifies?
Igneous rock
