What else can I help you with?
Is it true Andesitic rock is an igneous rock with a composition in between that of basaltic and granitic igneous rock.?
Yes, andesitic rock is indeed an igneous rock that has a composition situated between basaltic and granitic rocks. It typically contains a moderate amount of silica, ranging from about 57% to 63%, which gives it characteristics that are intermediate between the two. Andesitic rocks are commonly found in volcanic arcs and are often associated with subduction zones.
What are igneous rocks that form over the surface?
Rhyolititcen rocks.
What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten material within the earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?
Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.
Are igneous rocks made up of igneous rocks?
Sedimentary rock can be made up partially of igneous clasts, but igneous rock is igneous rock.
Are sedimentary rocks are harder than igneous rocks?
No, igneous rocks are harder than sedimentary rocks on average.
How do igneous rocks change into 'sedimentary rocks?
AnswerUsually by subduction of sedimentary rock at plate boundaries, melting, and deposition as solidified crustal igneous rock, either extrusive or intrusive.

When molten rocks cools what rocks form?
igneous rocks
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
How are metamorphic sedimentary and igneous rocks continues?
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling of magma that rises up from the mantle. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the compaction of small grains of weathered igneaous or metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the action of heat and/or pressure on igneous or sedimentary rocks. Finally, subduction process at certain plate boundaries return all three rock types to the mantle. So there exists a contiuous cycle between the three types of rock; starting with igneous rocks, perhaps becoming sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock or both, then returning to the mantle.

What is the name for rocks changing between sedimentary metamorphic and igneous rocks?
The rock cycle.
What processes found at convergent boundary will help form the following rocks?
At a convergent boundary, the processes of subduction, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, can lead to the formation of metamorphic rocks such as schist and gneiss. Additionally, the intense heat and pressure generated by the collision of two plates can cause the melting of rocks, leading to the formation of igneous rocks like granite.
What is the similarity between granite and basalt?
Both are igneous rocks.
Why are igneous are called primary rocks?
Igneous rocks
