When igneous rock cools above ground, it typically forms extrusive igneous rock, such as basalt or pumice. The rapid cooling that occurs when magma erupts onto the Earth's surface results in the formation of fine-grained textures, as crystals have less time to grow. This process can also lead to the formation of volcanic features like lava flows and pyroclastic deposits. Overall, the characteristics of the rock are influenced by the cooling rate and the chemical composition of the magma.
What else can I help you with?
Is igneouse rocks in the ground or above?
Igneous rocks can be found both in the ground and above ground. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, which can happen below the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rocks) or on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks).
When molten rock undergoes crystallization above ground what type of rock results?
Extrusive igneous rock is the result of above ground crystallization.
Intrusive igneous rock is cooled and solidified above ground?
False. Intrusive igneous rock forms underground when magma cools and solidifies slowly. Extrusive igneous rock forms when magma erupts onto the Earth's surface and cools quickly.
Can igneous rock be formed above or below ground?
Yes, igneous rocks can be formed both above and below the ground. When molten rock solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, it forms intrusive igneous rocks like granite. If molten rock reaches the Earth's surface and cools rapidly, it forms extrusive igneous rocks like basalt.
Rock that is cooled and solidified above ground is called?
That kind of rock is called Igneous rock.The other kids of rocks is Sedimentary rock formed by sediments of for example plants and Shellfish.The third type is formed from interaction between different rocks or other transformations most often under high pressure and temperature, it is called Metamorphic rock.
Is igneous rock that cooled above ground larger then being cooled under ground?
no
A molten rock starting with l?
A molten rock that has cooled is an Igneous rock. To my knowledge there is not a specific igneous rock that starts with L. However molten rock above ground is called lava.
Is igneouse rocks in the ground or above?
Igneous rocks can be found both in the ground and above ground. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, which can happen below the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rocks) or on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks).
When molten rock undergoes crystallization above ground what type of rock results?
Extrusive igneous rock is the result of above ground crystallization.
How is ignius rock formed?
it is formed either underground or above ground. it is formed underground when hot magma is trapped and cools slowly, when it has cooled down it has then become igneous rock but on top of the ground the lava cools much quicker then what it does below the ground
Intrusive igneous rock is cooled and solidified above ground?
False. Intrusive igneous rock forms underground when magma cools and solidifies slowly. Extrusive igneous rock forms when magma erupts onto the Earth's surface and cools quickly.
What type of rock is formed from the magma that is cooled above earth's surface?
Igneous rock. the definition of igneous: Formed by solidification from a molten state.
Can igneous rock be formed above or below ground?
Yes, igneous rocks can be formed both above and below the ground. When molten rock solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, it forms intrusive igneous rocks like granite. If molten rock reaches the Earth's surface and cools rapidly, it forms extrusive igneous rocks like basalt.
Rock that is cooled and solidified above ground is called?
That kind of rock is called Igneous rock.The other kids of rocks is Sedimentary rock formed by sediments of for example plants and Shellfish.The third type is formed from interaction between different rocks or other transformations most often under high pressure and temperature, it is called Metamorphic rock.
What rock types are formed above ground?
Extrusive igneous rocks and some sedimentary rocks are formed above ground.
What is the theory of igneous rock?
Igneous rock is formed from solidification of magma either above or below ground.
Which type of rock is formed above the ground by lava?
The general type is extrusive igneous rock.
