Molten rock, or magma, rises because it is less dense than the surrounding solid rock. As it moves upward, it can cool and solidify, becoming more dense and sinking back down. This process of rise and sink is driven by the differences in density between the molten rock and the surrounding rock.
What else can I help you with?
Does granite rock sink or float?
Granite rock is denser than water, so it will sink when placed in water.
How does the density of a rock affect its ability to float?
If the density of ANY object is less than 1.00, then it will float in fresh water. If the density is greater than 1.00, the object will sink in fresh water. If the object's density is precisely 1.00, it will be "neutrally buoyant" and will neither rise nor sink; it will remain at whatever depth you place it.
What causes fluids to sink and rise?
Fluids sink and rise due to differences in temperature and density. When a fluid is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, while cooler fluids are denser and sink. This movement of fluids is known as convection.
What determines if a balloon filled with a gas will rise or sink in the air?
A balloon filled with a gas will rise or sink depending on the density of the gas inside compared to the surrounding air. If the gas inside is less dense than the surrounding air, the balloon will rise. If the gas inside is more dense, the balloon will sink.
Do farts rise or sink in the air?
Farts rise in the air because they are lighter than the surrounding air.
A kind of rock formed when molted rock solidifies?
Igneous rock.
Melted rock that has come out of a mountain is?
The molted rock that has come out of a mountain is called magma.
What causes huge slabs of rock to rise and sink?
Huge slabs of rock rise and sink due to movement in the Earth's tectonic plates. When plates collide, one may be forced below the other, leading to subduction and sinking. Conversely, when plates separate, magma rises to create new crust, causing rock to rise.
What is the definition of magme?
Molted rock below Earths surface is called Magma.
Does molted rock flow on earths surface?
It can if there is a volcanic eruption I believe u also mean molten rock :)
Why might molten rock rise and sink beneath the earths surface?
changes in buoyancy due to changes in density differences between the magma and surrounding rock.
What is the place where molted rock along with other materials including gases reach the earth's surface?
The place where molted rock along with other materials including gases reach the Earth's surface is a volcano. A volcano can be composite or strato, shield or dome.
Can you use molted in a sentence?
Molted
What is the opposite of sink?
The opposite reaction of to sink (in liquid) is to float.However the opposite motion sink (move lower) would have the opposite rise.
What is molted rock under Earth's crust?
The thin crust of the planet floats on the molten core.
Why does magma rise toward the crust and not sink into the mantle?
By being less dense than, so slightly buoyant in, the surrounding rock.
What are some Lava lamp questions for science projects?
why does the lava sink or rise?
