What is an igneous intrusion between two sedimentary rock layers?
A laccolith is an igneous formation between two sedimentary layers
What type of rock is a laccolith?
A laccolith is a type of igneous rock formation that is created when magma intrudes between layers of sedimentary rock, causing the overlying layers to arch upward. It is classified as an intrusive igneous rock.
Is the difference between metamorphic rock igneous rock and sedimentary rock?

Is bauxite harder than granite?
No, granite is harder than bauxite. Granite is a type of igneous rock that is known for its durability and hardness, while bauxite is a sedimentary rock that is softer in comparison.
What places can igneous rocks be found?
Between 50 and 200 km below Earth's surface
What is the difference between basaltic and frantic igneous rock?

What is the igneous rock between granite and basalt?
Andesite is considered an intermediate rock between granite (felsic igneous rock) and basalt (mafic igneous rock), based on chemical composition.
What is the relationship between distance from the ridges and age of the crust?
At the oceanic ridges the age of igneous basalt rocks is approximately zero (as that is where they formed) and the rocks get older the farther away. The ages of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks does not correlate reliably with distance from the oceanic ridges like the ages of igneous rocks, because they can form anywhere not mainly at oceanic ridges. Igneous granite rocks are generally formed around continental volcanos not oceanic ridges.
What does cycle?
cycle means it cycles between sedimentary,metamorphic and igneous rocks. cycle means it cycles between sedimentary,metamorphic and igneous rocks. -Mrs.Zalenski
What is the similarity between granite and basalt?
Both are igneous rocks.
What is the difference between molten and igneous rock?
Molten rock is still a liquid. Igneous rock is what is formed when molten rock solidifies.
How many degrees celsius an igneous rock can withstand?
Basalt, an igneous rock, has a melting point of between 1100 and 1200 degrees C.
Igneous intrusions injected between horizontal layers are?
These are known as sills.
What type of rock is a laccolith?
A laccolith is a type of igneous rock formation that is created when magma intrudes between layers of sedimentary rock, causing the overlying layers to arch upward. It is classified as an intrusive igneous rock.
What is the difference between granitic igneous rocks and basaltic igneous rocks?
Basalt is an igneous rock with very fine grains. It is dark colored. Granite is a variety of colors: gray, pink, and white. It has coarse grains.
What is the difference between igneous and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma or lava. Sedimentary rock is formed from the lithification of sediments, generally.
