What kind of rock will from when a volcano erupts?
Volcanoes produce extrusive igneous rock.
Which type of rock is formed when volcanoes erupt or spider webs?
When volcanoes erupt, they produce igneous rocks, which form from the cooling and solidification of molten lava or magma. Conversely, spider webs do not directly form any type of rock; however, they can become part of sedimentary rocks if they are buried and fossilized over time. Each type of rock has distinct formation processes, with igneous rocks arising from volcanic activity and sedimentary rocks from the accumulation of organic materials or sediments.
Processes on and near earths surface produce what rocks?
Processes on and near Earth's surface primarily produce sedimentary rocks. These rocks form through the accumulation and lithification of sediments, which can include fragments of other rocks, minerals, and organic materials. Additionally, weathering and erosion of igneous and metamorphic rocks contribute to the formation of sedimentary layers. Examples include sandstone, limestone, and shale.
What process must occur to produce a metamorphic rock?
To produce a metamorphic rock, pre-existing rocks (either igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks) must undergo metamorphism, which involves exposure to high temperatures, high pressures, and/or chemically active fluids. This process alters the mineral composition and structure of the original rock without melting it. The resulting metamorphic rock often exhibits foliation or distinctive banding due to the alignment of minerals under pressure. Ultimately, the transformation enhances the rock's density and stability.
What phase of the rock cycle takes longer to produce results?
The metamorphic phase of the rock cycle typically takes longer to produce results compared to the igneous and sedimentary phases. This is because the process of heat and pressure transforming existing rock into new forms of metamorphic rock is a slow process that occurs over long periods of time underground.
What kind of rocks can produce metamorphic rocks?
All sedimentary and igneous rocks
What 2 things are required to produce metamorphic rock?
Heat and pressure are required to produce metamorphic rock from sedimentary or igneous rock.
What rocks are used to produce mobile phones?
Either igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary. I know this is just stating the obvious but you can google it remembering to use key words.
What kind of rock do volcanoes produce?
igneous
What kind of volcano has igneous rocks?
All volcanoes produce igneous rocks.
Does Washington have igneous rock in it?
Yes. There are several active volcanoes in Washington to produce igneous rock.
How are the 3 major groups of rocks different?
The three main groups, igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary are all part of the rock cycle. They are different in the way they formed and in their properties. Igneous rocks are formed when magma/lava cools and solidifies; metamorphic rocks are formed when a buried existing rock is heated up by the Earth's natural heat and is altered in its structure; and sedimentary rocks are formed when existing igneous or metamorphic rocks are weathered and eroded, and the resulting rock fragments are compacted together to produce a new rock. Each of these 3 types of rock can become any of the other types; ie an igneous rock can be subjected to further heating, which alters its structure, and turn into a metamorphic rock; or a sedimentary rock could be drawn back down into the Earth's molten mantle via a subduction zone, undego melting, and then later rise back to the surface and solidify to become an igneous rock.
Is the moon made of the same three kinds of rock as the earth?
No. Since the moon is not geologically active it cannot produce metamorphic rock and since it has no forces of erosion and deposition it cannot produce sedimentary rock. As a result, all the rocks on the moon are igneous
What kind of rock will from when a volcano erupts?
Volcanoes produce extrusive igneous rock.
Which location would most likely produce sedimentary rocks a dried-up lake bed of the side of a volcano?
A dried-up lake bed would most likely produce sedimentary rocks as the sediments from the lake would settle and be compacted over time. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compression of sediments. On the side of a volcano, you would expect more volcanic and igneous rocks to form from the volcanic activity.
