Which rock is formed from melted minerals?
Igneous rock is formed from melted minerals that have solidified and cooled. This process can occur either beneath the Earth's surface, forming intrusive igneous rocks, or on the surface, leading to extrusive igneous rocks.
What kind of rock is formed when melted minerals cool and harden?
Igneous rock is formed when melted minerals cool and harden. This process can happen either beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rock) or on the surface (extrusive igneous rock). Examples of igneous rocks include granite, basalt, and obsidian.
When melted rock cools or hardens on or under earths surface it forms what kind of rock?
It forms an igneous rock. If it is within the Earth, then it is an intrusive igneous rock (e.g. granite) and if it is erupted onto Earth's surface then it is an extrusive igneous rock (e.g. basalt).
What are types of igneous rock?
There are two main types of igneous rocks: intrusive (plutonic) rocks form beneath the Earth's surface from cooling magma, such as granite and diorite; extrusive (volcanic) rocks form from lava cooling on the Earth's surface, such as basalt and rhyolite.
What type of igneous rock formed when melted rock reaches earths surface?
When melted rock reaches Earth's surface, it cools quickly and solidifies to form an extrusive igneous rock. This rapid cooling prevents large mineral crystals from forming, resulting in a fine-grained texture. Common examples include basalt and rhyolite.
What igneous rock is melted rock that reaches earths surface and forms extrusive igneous rock when it cools?
a Obsidion rock
When melted rock cools or hardens on it under earths surface it forms rock?
Igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rock forms at or near the surface, intrusive igneous rock forms below the surface.
Which rock is formed from melted minerals?
Igneous rock is formed from melted minerals that have solidified and cooled. This process can occur either beneath the Earth's surface, forming intrusive igneous rocks, or on the surface, leading to extrusive igneous rocks.
What is melted rock that reaches Earths surface and forms extrusive and igneous rock when it cools?
a Obsidion rock
The ways Which extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks are formed?
extrusive- when melted rock material coools on earths surface instursive-when the melt cools below earths surface
What kind of rock is formed when melted minerals cool and harden?
Igneous rock is formed when melted minerals cool and harden. This process can happen either beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rock) or on the surface (extrusive igneous rock). Examples of igneous rocks include granite, basalt, and obsidian.
What refers to rocks that are produced when melted rock or magma from inside Earths cools or hardens on or below Earths surface?
i think the answer your looking for is igneous rock.....that is the type of rock you get after megma cools.....
Melted rock that is beneath Earth's surface?
Melted rock beneath Earth's surface is known as magma. Magma forms in the Earth's mantle and can rise to the surface, where it is then called lava. Magma can also cool and solidify beneath the surface, forming igneous rocks.
When melted rock cools or hardens on or under earths surface it forms what kind of rock?
It forms an igneous rock. If it is within the Earth, then it is an intrusive igneous rock (e.g. granite) and if it is erupted onto Earth's surface then it is an extrusive igneous rock (e.g. basalt).
Do igneous rocks only form beneath the Earth's surface?
Yes, because it has to be melted and pressured, so it needs to be near the earth's hot core.
What melted rock beneath the earth is called?
Melted rock beneath the earth is called magma.
How does a metamorphic rock turn into a igneous rock?
If it finds its way dowm into the earths crust through rock cycle and then is melted and mixes together to form molten magma, it could re-erupt to the earths surface and form an extrusive igneous rock or cool and solidify within the earths crust as an intrusive igneous rock.
