What clues tells geologists how extrusions are formed?
I am learning about this in my Science class, and when a geologist looks at an extrusion, they know it's an extrusion because it is Igneous rock, and an extrusion helps tell the reletive ages of the layers around it.
WHAT is the change of one type of rock into a new type of rock?
ANSWER: rock cycle
Would a lava flow be considered an extrusion?
Yes, a lava flow is a type of volcanic extrusion where molten rock, or magma, reaches the Earth's surface and flows out as lava. This can result in the formation of volcanic landforms such as lava fields, lava plateaus, and lava domes.
What is an non example for rock cycle?
An example that is not part of the rock cycle would be a volcanic eruption, where molten rock (magma) is expelled from Earth's interior onto its surface. This event is a singular occurrence and does not illustrate the continuous processes of rock formation, transformation, and recycling that make up the rock cycle.
What is a igneous extrusion?
An igneous extrusion is a type of volcanic rock that forms when lava flows onto the Earth's surface and solidifies quickly. These rocks are fine-grained due to the rapid cooling process and can be found in various volcanic formations such as lava flows and volcanic domes.
What do an intrusion and an extrusion tell us about the rock layers?
(Intrusion) You can learn how old the rock layers are around it. the rock layers around under and all around the intrusion are always older than the intrusion itself. (EXTRUSION) the layers of rock bellow the extrusion is older than the extrusion.
What tells geologists how extrusion forms?
I am learning about this in my Science class, and when a geologist looks at an extrusion, they know it's an extrusion because it is Igneous rock, and an extrusion helps tell the reletive ages of the layers around it.
What is a body of extrusive igneous rock called?
The answer to this ? is extrusion
Is an extrusion older or younger than the rock layer below it?
Extrusion is older than intrusion because, an extrusion is always younger than the rocks below it. An intrusion is always younger than the rock layers around and beneath it. Hope the answers correct ;)
What clues tell geologist how extrusions form?

How does the age of an igneous extrusion compare with the rock into which it was extruded?
An igneous intrusion is younger than the rock into which it intruded.
What clues does extrusion tell geologists?
Geologists study where intrusion and extrusion formed in relation to other rock layers. This helps geologists understand the relative ages of the different types of rock! Hope it helps;)😊
How extrusion forms?
An extrusion is an igneous rock layer formed when lava flows onto Earth's surface and hardens. Extrusions are always younger than the rocks below it.

Does the rock cycle have to start from the sedimentary rock?
No, the rock cycle does not have to start from the sedimentary rock
What does the rock cycle and water cycle have in common?
The rock cycle and water cycle both are natural.
What is the rock cycle including descriptions of how one type of rock can change into another type?
It is called the Rock Cycle.
