What kind of rock is pegmatite is it sedimentary igneous or metamorphic?
Pegmatite is an igneous rock that forms in the final stage of magma crystallization. It typically contains large crystals due to the slow cooling of the magma.
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms what substance?
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms magma, which can eventually cool and solidify to form igneous rock.
What kind of igneous rock forms near the Earth's surface?
Rhyolite is an igneous rock that forms near the Earth's surface through the rapid cooling and solidification of silica-rich magma.
What type rock forms when magma cools and hardens?
Igneous rock forms when magma cools and hardens. This type of rock can be classified as intrusive (plutonic) if it cools below the Earth's surface (slow cooling) or extrusive (volcanic) if it cools quickly on the Earth's surface. Examples of igneous rocks include granite, basalt, and obsidian.
What is the molten material deep inside Earth which forms igneous rock?
The molten material deep inside Earth is called magma. When magma cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rock.
What kind of mineral does magma form when it cools?
When magma cools, it forms igneous rock.
Which rocks are formed from a hot magma?
igneous rock
What kind of rock forms from magma that cools below the earth's surface?
Intrusive Igneous Rock.
What kind of rock forms when magma or lava cool and hardens?
Igneous rocks
Basaltic magma forms what kind of igneous rock?
Mafic igneous rock. ( due to Ferromagnesian minerals).
What is the only kind of rock that can form directly from magma?
By definition. A sedimentary rock is formed from sediments, chemical, organic, or clastic. A metamorphic rock has undergone a change in mineral alignment or mineral composition due to heat and/or pressure. An igneous rock forms from solidification of magma via cooling.
Does sedimentary rock form from the cooling of magma?
No. Igneous rock forms from the cooling of magma.
Which type of rock forms from magma?
magma is a mixture of several different types of rock.
What kind of rock is pegmatite is it sedimentary igneous or metamorphic?
Pegmatite is an igneous rock that forms in the final stage of magma crystallization. It typically contains large crystals due to the slow cooling of the magma.
When solid rock in the earths mantle melts it forms a liquid rock known as?
magma.
When lava flows and cools on Earth's surface it forms what kind of rock?
Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidificatio of magma or lava.
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms what substance?
The melting of metamorphic or igneous rock forms magma, which can eventually cool and solidify to form igneous rock.
