obsidian :) it is used mostly as scalples because it has smooth edges unlike normal scalples they have rough blades even if you can not see them hope it helps

How do melting and cooling lead to igneous rock formation?

Rocks formed by crystallization from a melt (magma).


How do igneous rocks form?

Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material called magma or lava.


Which two transitions can magma undergro?

crystallization above ground and crystallization below ground


What are rocks form by crystallization and consolidation of molten magma?

Rocks formed by the crystallization and consolidation of molten magma are called igneous rocks. When magma cools and solidifies either underground or on the surface, it forms igneous rocks such as basalt, granite, and obsidian. The rate of cooling and the mineral composition determine the texture and appearance of the resulting rock.


Crystallization from cooling magma describes one way that?

minerals form


What two processes results in the formation of igneous rocks?

Igneous rocks are formed through two processes: cooling and solidification of molten rock (magma) on or beneath the Earth's surface (extrusive), and cooling and crystallization of magma deep beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive).


When magma undergoes crystallization above groundwhat type of rock results?

When magma undergoes crystallization above ground, it forms igneous rocks known as extrusive or volcanic rocks. These rocks have fine-grained textures due to rapid cooling, and examples include basalt, andesite, and rhyolite.


How were the first rocks formed?

The first rocks on Earth were formed through a process called solidification or cooling of molten materials. This process occurred around 4 billion years ago from the cooling and crystallization of molten rock (magma) from the early Earth's interior. These rocks eventually became the building blocks for the Earth's crust.


Where would igneous rocks be at?

Is granite formed from rapidly cooling magma?

No."Granite is formed by the slow cooling & crystallization of magma at some depth in the earth's crust, as indicated by its characteristic phaneritic & phaneritic-porphyritic texture."-The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Rocks & Minerals


Rocks made by the cooling of magma are called?

Intrusive igneous rocks are formed by the cooling of magma.


How Do Glassy Texture Igneous Rocks Form?

They form from the extremely rapid cooling of lava or magma. The quick cooling does not allow time for the crystallization of minerals, resulting in the formation of a natural glass.
