Intrusive igneous rocks
What else can I help you with?
What names is given to the molten rock below the earths surface?
Magma. Magma rises towards the surface when it's less dense than rock around it. Otherwise, it collects in magma chambers and cools, forming igneous rock.
What below the Earths's surface cools and hardens to form mineral crystals?
Magma beneath the Earth's surface cools and solidifies to form mineral crystals. This process takes place over long periods of time, allowing different types of crystals to form depending on the minerals present in the magma.
How and where are igneous rocks formed?
Igneous rocks are formed when molten magma cools and solidifies either beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive) or on the surface (extrusive). Intrusive igneous rocks are formed from magma that cools slowly underground, while extrusive igneous rocks are formed from lava that cools quickly on the surface.
What are rocks called that are formed when magma cools below the earths surface?
Plutonic rocks, generally coarse grained, interlocking texture, high density. eg. Granite
What groups of rocks can igneous rocks be formed from?
igneous rocks are formed by magma reaching earths surface and cooling quickly to form extrusive igneous rock.another igneous rock is called intrusive igneous rock. it is formed when magma cools and hardens below the surface.
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.....
What type of rocks form when magma cools below earths surface?
Intrusive igneous rocks.
Rock formed when magma cools on the earths surface?
ignious rock
What is liquid rock that cools on or below the surface?
Magma.
What is magma and what happens when it cools down underground?
There are two known processes by which magma ceases to exist: by volcanic eruption, or by crystallization within the crust or mantle to form a pluton. In both cases the bulk of the magma eventually cools and forms igneous rocks.
What is rock that is formed when magma cools under earths surface?
Intrusive igeneus such as basalt
What is it called when magma slowly cools far beneath the earths surface?
An igneous intrusion.
What names is given to the molten rock below the earths surface?
Magma. Magma rises towards the surface when it's less dense than rock around it. Otherwise, it collects in magma chambers and cools, forming igneous rock.

What rock is formed when magma cools slowly beneath earths surface?
Intrusive igneous rock.
When volcano lava cools at the surface?
When magma cools at the surface of the Earth, it cools very quickly and hardens on the Earths crust. However, it continues flowing underneath, forming interesting textures.
