What else can I help you with?
What do you call the molten rocks under the earth surface?
Molten rocks under the Earth's surface are called magma. When magma reaches the Earth's surface, it is then called lava.
Why are metamorphic rocks not common on Earth's surface?
They are formed under the earth's surface.
Is Igneous rocks form only beneath Earth's surface true or false?
False. Igneous rocks can form both beneath the Earth's surface, where they are called intrusive or plutonic rocks, and on the surface from volcanic activity, known as extrusive or volcanic rocks. Intrusive rocks crystallize slowly from magma deep within the Earth, while extrusive rocks solidify quickly from lava that erupts onto the surface.
What igneous rocks form above the earths surface?
Igneous rocks that form above the Earth's surface are called extrusive or volcanic rocks. Examples include basalt, andesite, and rhyolite. These rocks form when magma erupts onto the surface and cools quickly.
Is it true that igneous rocks form only beneath earths surface?
No, igneous rocks can form both beneath and above the Earth's surface. Intrusive igneous rocks form beneath the surface as magma cools and solidifies underground. Extrusive igneous rocks, on the other hand, form on the Earth's surface when lava cools and solidifies quickly.
How is magma different from rocks on Earth's surface?
Magma is under the surface of Earth's crust. Rocks on earth's surface are well ... on Earth's surface. Magma is also molten rock, not solid rock like the rocks on earth's surface.
What are igneous rocks that form on earth surface?
igneous rocks that form on earth's surface
Where are rocks from?
from earth surface ^_^
What rocks originate from the surface of the earth?
Sedimentary rocks form on the Earth's crust, and can form metamorphic rocks when buried. Igneous rocks form under the surface, or when liquid magma reaches the surface as lava.
What do you call the molten rocks under the earth surface?
Molten rocks under the Earth's surface are called magma. When magma reaches the Earth's surface, it is then called lava.
Why are metamorphic rocks not common on Earth's surface?
They are formed under the earth's surface.
Uplift replaces rocks on Earth's surface lost to the process of what?
Uplift replaces rocks on Earth's surface lost the process of erosion.
How much rocks are on the surface of the earth?
Apart form the Oceans the earths surface is made of rocks.
Does magma always reach the Earth's surface?
no sometimes it cools under earth's surface. that is called intrusive igneous rocks. when it reaches earth's surface and cools its called extrusive igneous rocks.
How does shearing affect rock in Earth's crust?
Shearing affects the rocks in the earth's crust when the rocks are being pulled apart in opposite horizontal directions
Why do metamorphic rocks often formed deep under the surface of the earth?
Metamorphic rocks are often found deep under the earth's surface because metamorphic rocks form from heat and pressure. Therefore, they form while they are under the earth's surface.
34 of the rocks on earth's surface are these kind of rocks?
Igeous Rock
