When rocks from cooling lava harden do they have the same magnetism as Earth's magnetism?
No, because Earth's magnetism "flips" about every half million years. When rock form from the cooling lava of volcanoes, the particular magnetic pattern at the time is "frozen" into the rocks. This was evidence that the alternating pattern of the rock has been slowly spreading out as the new crust is formed.

What are rocks that exhibit magnetism that is opposite to the current magnetic field?
Rocks that exhibit magnetism opposite to the current magnetic field are referred to as antiferromagnetic or diamagnetic. This means that the magnetic moments of the atoms or ions within the rock align in such a way that they oppose the external magnetic field applied. Antiferromagnetic materials have equal but opposite magnetic moments whereas diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field opposite to the external field.
Are bricks made from rock?
No, bricks are made out of clay which is fired at high temperatures in an oven or kiln. Clay itself was formed when rocks were weathered, releasing fine particles of minerals, usually silica (sand is made of silica and so is glass). When clay is wet these particles are separate but when it dries the particles stick together. Very high temperatures cause a chemical change in the minerals which cause them to harden (the same happens to sand which becomes liquid glass when heated and then hardens)
Is a magnet a rock?
No. It is not a rock. However there are rocks that are magnetic, have magnetism. Magnetism is one-half of the fundamental force called electro-magnetism. That's why we can cause some things to move using magnets.
What are the five sources of background radiation?
The five sources of background radiation are cosmic radiation from outer space, terrestrial radiation from the Earth's crust and building materials, radon gas from soil and rocks, internal radiation from within our bodies, and medical sources like X-rays.
What does crystal size mean?
Crystal size refers to the dimensions of individual crystals within a substance or material. It correlates with the rate of cooling or solidification during the formation process, with slower cooling resulting in larger crystals. Crystal size can impact the physical properties and characteristics of a material, such as strength, durability, and transparency.
How is the orientation of earths magnetism recorded in rocks on the?
Earth's magnetic orientation is locked into the rock when the rock cools
What determines the magnetism of rocks formed from cooling magma?
The composition of the magma and the local magnetic flux as it crossed the Curie point.
What happens to magma and lava once they cool and harden?
Once magma and lava cool and harden, they solidify to form igneous rocks. The texture and composition of the rocks depend on the cooling rate and mineral content. Over time, these rocks can be uplifted, eroded, and transformed in the Earth's crust through various geological processes.
Igneous rocks form below earths surface?
Igneous rocks form below Earth's surface from the cooling and solidification of magma. The rate of cooling determines the texture of the rock, with slower cooling leading to larger crystals. Examples of these rocks include granite and diorite.
What are the names of rocks that harden before they come out of the volcano and the name of rocks that harden after they come out of a volcano?
It is called Lava
How do metamorphic rocks turn into igneous rocks?
metamorphic rocks are heated and pressured so soon they are being melted turning into magma. But volcanic activity can also release lava which would cool and harden either in crack inside the volcano or on earths surface.
How do felsic lavas cool to form igneous rocks?
Felsic lavas cool to form igneous rocks when they solidify and harden after being erupted from a volcano. The cooling process can happen either on the surface of the Earth or underground, and the slow cooling allows minerals to crystallize and form the igneous rock.
Where is each type of igneous rock formed?
The Extrusive igneous rock is formed on the earths surface while the Intrusive igneous rock is formed within or inside the earths crust.
Can the rock magnetite lose its magnetism?
Yes, rocks containing magnetite can lose their magnetism over time due to various geological processes such as heating, cooling, or chemical alteration. These processes can disrupt the alignment of magnetic domains within the magnetite crystals, leading to a loss of magnetism.
What are extrusive and intrusive igneous rock?
Extrusive rocks are formed outside of earths surface. Intrusive rocks are formed inside earths surface.
How do igneous rocks turn into metamorphic rock?
metamorphic rocks are heated and pressured so soon they are being melted turning into magma. But volcanic activity can also release lava which would cool and harden either in crack inside the volcano or on earths surface.
How does heat energy recycle rocks?
The rocks melt into a rock mush then kind of harden again.
