If the magma cools on the surface of the crust, it is called extrusive igneous rock, such as pumice, basalt or rhyolite. If the magma cools inside the crust, it is called intrusive igneous rock, such as granite.
Magma forms igneous rock when it cools and hardens. Igneous rocks can be further classified as intrusive (formed below the surface) or extrusive (formed on the surface).
Yes, that's correct. Sills are igneous rock formations that form when magma is intruded horizontally between rock layers and then solidifies underground. If the magma solidifies vertically underneath the surface, it will create a sill structure.
No. If it cools as magma it will form an intrusive igneous rock. To form an extrusive igenous rock it must erupt from a volcano, where it becomes lava or pyroclastic material.
A concordant intrusive igneous feature like a sill can form when magma hardens between horizontal layers of rock. Sills are tabular bodies that are parallel to the surrounding rock layers.
No, these features form when magma cools into rocks BEFORE reaching the surface.
Igneous rock is what forms when magma cools and hardens.
Igneous rock is formed.
