Where is each type of igneous rock formed?
Intrusive igneous rocks are formed underground from the slow cooling of magma. Extrusive igneous rocks are formed on the Earth's surface from the rapid cooling of lava.
What Igneous rock at the earths surface that is weathered and wears away is called?
That would be "sedimentary rock". Sedimentary rock is formed from the accumulation and compression of sediments, including fragments of igneous rock that have been weathered and eroded.
What igneous rocks form below Earths surface?
Igneous rocks that form below Earth's surface are called intrusive or plutonic rocks. These rocks are formed from the solidification of magma beneath the Earth's crust. Examples include granite, diorite, and gabbro.
What are fire-formed rocks called?
Fire-formed rocks are called igneous rocks. They are formed through the solidification of molten rock material, either below the Earth's surface (intrusive) or at the surface (extrusive). Examples include granite, basalt, and obsidian.
How are igeneous rock formed?
Igneous rocks are formed when molten magma from beneath the Earth's surface cools and solidifies. The cooling process can happen either slowly beneath the surface (intrusive igneous rocks) or rapidly on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks), resulting in different textures and mineral compositions.
