What is the relationship between plate tectonics and the Rock cycle?
Volcanoes tend to form where plates collide. They are the mechanisms by which magma reaches the surface of the Earth; magma may also flow to Earth's surface between the moving plates at a divergent boundary. Called lava on Earth's surface, it cools and forms igneous rock. Igneous rock is a type of rock in the rock cycle. Through weathering, igneous rocks can become sediment, which eventually can become sedimentary rock. This sedimentary rock, or the original igneous rock, can also become metamorphic rock when exposed to heat and pressure beneath Earth's surface. Metamorphic rocks in turn melt and become magma. This magma plus additional magma from theEarth's interior begin the cycle again.
What name is given to molten rock underground?
Magma is a type of molten rock underground. Hope this helps. :)
What is a type of rock formed when lava or magma cools?
the type of rock formed when lava or magma cools is igneous rock..
How does a metamorphic rock form into magma?
Metamorphic rock could become magma by collisions involving an oceanic plates. During subduction,any rock carried on the plate would return to the mantle and melt,forming magma
The rock group formed by the solidification of magma is?
A type of rock group that forms from the solidification of magma is indigenous rocks. One example of this is sulphur.
What type of rock contains lava or magma?
The type of rock that contains lava or magma is an igneous rock.
What type of rock is magma made of?
Magma IS made of melted rock and minerals. Not what type of rock. All types of rock.
Which type of rock forms from magma?
magma is a mixture of several different types of rock.
In what order does magma become a rock?
Magma forms from heated rock--it cools--minerals form--when totally solidified it is a rock.
How sediments can become igneous rock?
The sedimentary rock melts,which causes magma. When the magma cools it becomes an igneous rock.
What does magma become when it cools and hardens?
rock
Type of rocked formed when lave or magma cools?
A rock that is formed when magma cools is called a igneous rock.
What type of rock is formed by magma?
igneous rock jacob did this
What type of rock is made of hardened magma?
igneous rock
Can the interaction between magma and surrounding rock cause changes in the rock?
Yes. The rock will get hot, of course, and some pieces of rock will become magma itself.
How does rock turns into magma?
Magma is essentially molten rock inside earth, possibly with some trapped gasses. To become rock the magma simply cools and solidifies, essentially freezing.
How does a metamorphic rock become magma?
Extreme heat.
