What igneous rock is mixed with soil and used for starting vegetable seeds?
Perlite is an igneous, and perlite is an amorphous volcanic glass and is created from a mixture of hydrated obsidian and mass amounts of water.
What is the change of state when magma crystallizes from igneous rock?
Your question as phrased is unclear. I will proceed to answer both interpretations I have of your question. Note: When magma crystallizes, it forms igneous rocks.
1) What is the change of state when magma forms from igneous rock? - Melting. Rocks are the solid state of matter and magma is the liquid state (although it can be a very viscous liquid). Changing something from solid to liquid is melting.
2) What is the change of state when magma crystallizes to form igneous rocks? - Solidification/Freezing. Magma becomes too cold to continue in a liquid state, it solidifies and crystallizes into solid igneous rocks: freezing.
Why rock is heated forms magma?
The rock melts, just like most other solids do when heated. Magma is to rock as water is to ice.
Is sandstone hard rock or soft rock?
That would depend on what the cementing material is and how densely it is compacted.
How does molten rock become sedimentary rock?
Molten rock (igneous rock) may be worn down (weather and erosion), turning into pebbles, then due to things such as floods, they can get washed down into a lake where the water is calm. Things such as clay and sand settle down too, as well as other rocks. Over many years (we're talking thousands, millions of years here) all of those things get compressed and eventually the pressure is so great that it forms one big bit of rock. That's why in sedimentary rock you see all the layers, they are all the layers of things like sand, clay and rocks all pressed together. I think that's how a lot of sedimentary rocks are made. Metamorphic rock may also be turned into sedimentary this way.
What types of rocks can become igneous rocks?
All rocks can become igneous rocks.
With weathering and erosion, an igneous rock can become a sediment. Then with compaction and cementation, it can become a sedimentary rock. With heat and pressure, it will turn into a metamorphic rock. Or it can melt and turn into an igneous rock.
There are many more ways rocks can change types... that is the rock cycle.
Are igneous rocks formed from smalll minerals?
Not necessarily. Intrusive igneous rocks, especially pegmatites, can have large crystals.
If exposed to high enough temperatures and pressures long-buried igneous rock could?
Melt and recrystallize
What rocks are formed from molten rock that has solidified?
Igneous rocks, which come in many different forms.
Which minerals are present in granite but are never present in gabbro?
Never say never, but it's mica.
What did igneous rock begin as?
Igneous rock typically begins as magma, which is molten rock located beneath Earth's surface. This magma can solidify underground to form intrusive igneous rock or erupt onto the surface as lava and cool to form extrusive igneous rock.
What proccesses must occur to change any rock to igneous rock?
Melting and solidification are the processes that must occur for a rock to change into igneous rock.
What are obsidian rocks used for?
There are many claims on the web that Express Paid Surveys is a scam. The best place to find out is the Better Business Bureau, which now has a website of their own. You will see many listings, both negative and positive, by peoply who have used this service, and then you can make an informative decision on that question.
Why won't chalk write on your new blackboard does it need conditoning before use?
The problem likely lies with the chalk itself. A lot of chalk you buy today, especially cheap chalk, is too hard to use on chalkboards with any kind of good result. Try a different brand of chalk, one that is softer.
How can you tell that diorite rock is an intrusive igneous rock?
because most intrusive igneous rock are found underground and diorite is found under the earth.
Where do you find Obsidian rock Philippines bacoor zapote cavite?

When lava cools down does it turn into coal?
No, coal is not an igneous rock at all. Coal is made from sedimentary rock that is squeezed under the ground by great pressure.
