Density is the key. Think of a hot air balloon. Because hot air is less dense than cool air it rises above it, causeing the air balloon to rise. In science, materials that are a hotter temperature are less dense than materials that are cooler in temperature. The molten rock being hotter is less dense and rises about the cool, solid rock.
the heat from inside the earth heats the water so when it comes up it is hot Iceland is basically on a humongous plume of molten rock. This really hot molten rock heats the water so that's why the water is hot! :)
magma or molten rock
Yes, molten rock can be turned into a sculpture through a process called sculpting or carving. Artists can shape and mold the molten rock into various forms and designs while it is still hot and malleable. Once it cools and solidifies, the sculpture will retain its shape.
Lava refers specifically to molten rock that flows on the surface of the Earth during a volcanic eruption. Molten rock, on the other hand, is the hot, liquid rock below the Earth's surface that has not yet erupted. Essentially, all lava is molten rock, but not all molten rock is lava.
Molten rock glows red because it is extremely hot. Glowing due to high temperature is called incandescence.
The molten rock that erupts from volcanoes ultimately comes from Earth's mantle, which is a very hot layer of rock. It is hot enough that some if its rock can melt and rise through the crust.
Rocks formed from hot molten rock that has coold and hardened are called what?
It is magma or molten rock.
Yes, it is molten rock.
