Igneous rocks are crystallized from a liquid, molten rocks because the medium from which the igneous rock crystallizes is a fluid, the ions that will form the minerals are able to move freely. The hotter the fluid the greater the movement and freedom, and the quicker the crystallization takes place.

When molten rock undergoes crystallization above ground what type of rock result?
Extrusive igneous rock is the result of above ground crystallization.
What two processes are involved with the formation of an ignerous rock?
melting and crystallization
When molten rock undergoes crystallization above ground what type of rock results?
Extrusive igneous rock is the result of above ground crystallization.
What type of rock is a pluton made of?
A plutonic rock is a rock that has formed at considerable depth. This happens by crystallization of magma or by chemical alteration.
What is it called When melted rock becomes solid?
When melted rock solidifies, it forms an igneous rock. This process is known as crystallization.

What is a group of minerals that formed during cooling and crystallization of magma?
Igneous rock
What igneous rock may be formed by fractional crystallization of olivine and pyroxene?
ultramafic
What is the difference between lithification and crystallization?
Lithification is the process of turning loose sediment into sedimentary rock through compaction and cementation. Crystallization involves the formation of mineral crystals from a solution, magma, or vapor. Essentially, lithification creates sedimentary rock from sediment, while crystallization forms crystals from a solution or melt.
