If a magma of higher temperature cools down, certain minerals solidify first. Eventually, those minerals that remain liquid at the lowest temperatures solidify the latest. The rock that is then formed is Granite (if it's intrusive), or Rhyolite (if it's extrusive)

Which rock type forms from cooling on earth's surface?

Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and hardening of molten material called magma.


What are two factors affect the type of igneous rock that is formed?

The composition of the magma, which includes the proportion of silicate minerals and gases, and the cooling rate of the magma are two factors that influence the type of igneous rock that forms. Slow cooling leads to the formation of large crystals (intrusive rocks), while rapid cooling results in small or no crystals (extrusive rocks).


What is the type of rock that oceanic plates are made of?

Oceanic plates are primarily made of basalt, which is a type of volcanic rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of magma on the ocean floor. Basalt is dark in color and has a fine-grained texture.
