What else can I help you with?
What do you call a igneous rock that cools on the crust is called?
An igneous rock that cools on the Earth's crust is called an extrusive or volcanic rock. This type of rock forms from lava that erupts onto the surface and cools quickly, resulting in a fine-grained texture. Examples include basalt and pumice.
When Theory that states that Earth and crust and upper mantle are broken into enormous slabs?
Plate tectonics.
When magma is forced into fissures in the crust and cools under the surface of the Earth it is called?
When magma is forced into fissures in the crust and cools under the surface of the Earth, it is called intrusive igneous rock formation. This process results in the formation of igneous rocks like granite, diorite, and gabbro.
What process makes new crust when the sea floor moves apart and magma rises up?
The process that makes new crust when the sea floor moves apart and magma rises up is called seafloor spreading. Magma from the mantle rises to the surface at mid-ocean ridges, cools, and solidifies to form new crust as the tectonic plates move apart. This process contributes to the continuous growth of the seafloor and the expansion of the ocean basins.
The stress force that pulls on the crust where two plates are moving apart is called .?
tension
An enormous gap that forms when new crust cools and moves apart is called a --?
the answer is rift valley
What is an enormous gap that forms as new ocean crust cools and moves apart?
A rift.
What type of rock is formed after volcanic magma cools?
If the magma cools on the surface of the crust, it is called extrusive igneous rock
What do you call a igneous rock that cools on the crust is called?
An igneous rock that cools on the Earth's crust is called an extrusive or volcanic rock. This type of rock forms from lava that erupts onto the surface and cools quickly, resulting in a fine-grained texture. Examples include basalt and pumice.
Why doesn't the Earth's crust become thicker even when a new crust is formed at divegent boundaries?
At a mid-ocean ridge, as the plates are spreading apart, magma rises up in between and cools into new crust. by: Vontamayosa
New crust forms when or where?
where two plates pull apart from each other at oceanic ridges
Mass of rock formed when magna cools in crust is called?
The mass of rock formed when magma cools in the Earth's crust is called igneous rock. This process involves the solidification of molten rock material underground, leading to the formation of solid igneous rock bodies.
Does granite form on top of the crust?
No. Granite forms underground in the crust. If granitic magma reaches the surface and cools it forms a rock called rhyolite.
What is it called when plates move apart creating new crust?
Divergence.
When Theory that states that Earth and crust and upper mantle are broken into enormous slabs?
Plate tectonics.
When magma is forced into fissures in the crust and cools under the surface of the Earth it is called?
When magma is forced into fissures in the crust and cools under the surface of the Earth, it is called intrusive igneous rock formation. This process results in the formation of igneous rocks like granite, diorite, and gabbro.
What is it called when the earth's crust splits apart?
When the earth's crust splits apart, it is called a rift. This process occurs when tectonic plates move away from each other, creating a gap in the crust. Overtime, this rift can lead to the formation of new ocean basins or rift valleys.
