What else can I help you with?
What is the main type of rock oceanic plates are made from?
Oceanic plates are primarily made of basalt, which is a dark-colored, fine-grained volcanic rock that forms from the rapid cooling of lava at or near the Earth's surface.
Is cooled lava considered a rock?
Yes. Cooled lava is extrusive igneous rock.
What is a slab of volcanic rock called?
A slab of volcanic rock is called a "lava flow" or a "lava rock".
What brought about the solidification of volcanic lava?
It simply cooled down. Lava is liquid rock, so when it is exposed it cools and sets, just like melted wax does.
Oceanic crust is composed of a volcanic rock that forms from quickly cooled lava called?
mainly basalt
What is the main rock type Oceanic plates are made of?
it is a mixture of volcanic rock or "cooled lava" and sedative rock
A volcano made of loose volcanic rock?
Not necessarily. Shield volcanoes are made of solid basalt from cooled lava flows.
A rock made from cooled magma or lava?
Igneous rock is formed from solidified and cooled magma or lava.
How are volcanic rocks produced?
A volcano is formed when the molten magma (lava) beneath the crust is forced to the surface. Volcanic rock is lava that has cooled.
What is the main type of rock oceanic plates are made from?
Oceanic plates are primarily made of basalt, which is a dark-colored, fine-grained volcanic rock that forms from the rapid cooling of lava at or near the Earth's surface.
What forms when lava flows horizontally across a layer of rock?
When lava flows horizontally across a layer of rock, it can form a flat, expansive volcanic plateau known as a lava plateau or lava plain. This occurs when the lava spreads out and solidifies over a large area, creating a relatively flat surface with a thick layer of cooled lava.
What is Igneous rock is made from?
They are made from cooled lava, because they come from volcano's, and the center of the earth, which has magma (lava) flowing around.no
Is cooled lava considered a rock?
Yes. Cooled lava is extrusive igneous rock.
What Igneous rock are made out of what?
Granite tables in the kitchen.
Is metamorphic rock a cooled lava?
No. Cooled lava would be igneous.
What is a slab of volcanic rock called?
A slab of volcanic rock is called a "lava flow" or a "lava rock".
What is cooled lava call?
Cooled lava is called a igneous rock once it has completely cooled and hardened. Some people just call it lava rock.
