The large mass of Earth's crust floating on magma is known as tectonic plates. These plates are rigid segments of the lithosphere that rest atop the semi-fluid asthenosphere, which is composed of partially molten rock. The movement of these tectonic plates is driven by convection currents in the mantle, leading to geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
What else can I help you with?
When magma reaches the exterior of the Earths crust is becomes?
Lava
Which formation occurs when magma pushes all the way through the exterior of the earths crust?
volcanic mountain
What do you call Molten rock within earths surface?
Lava
Is it true that a batholith is a mass of rock that formed when a large body of magma cooled inside earths crust?
Yes, that is correct. A batholith is a large mass of intrusive igneous rock that forms from the solidification of magma deep beneath the Earth's surface. As the magma cools and solidifies over time, it creates a massive body of rock that can be exposed through erosion.
What do ingeous rocks form from?
a type of rock that forms when magma cools and hardens very slowly deep in earths crust...
What is the effect of actions of magma in the earths crust?
It is from the Volcano
What is magma that has escaped from the earths crust called?
Lava!
Magma that breack through the earths curst is called?
Once magma breaks through the earths crust it is called"lava"
What are large masses of earth's crust floating on magma?
Large masses of Earth's crust floating on magma are known as tectonic plates. These plates move and interact with each other, leading to processes such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges. The movement of these plates is driven by the heat and circulation of the underlying molten rock in the Earth's mantle.
What is melted rock on the earths is called?
Lava....when its under the earths crust its called magma.
When magma reaches the exterior of the Earths crust is becomes?
Lava
What is it called when magma hardens beneath the earths surface?
crust
When magma hardens inside earths crust it can form vertical?
sills
What is the opening in earths crust where magma comes to the surface?
The correct answer is Volcanos
What is the surface of the earth floating on?
The crust, on which we live on, is like islands of tectonic plates that are floating on the semi-molten magma.
What is formed as plates within earth bend and crack earths crust?
magma
What are some properties of magma?
Magma has a lot of different properties. it also means lava. It is in the mantlle if it is called magma, lava is when it is on the earths crust.
